Library

Our library offers specialists, enthusiasts, and students no fewer than 55.000 books, pamphlets, and articles, as well as quiet study spaces. Subject-specific indexing allows you to quickly and easily find the articles you are looking for on sepulchral culture, even in literature outside your field. Of particular note are the numerous historical sources and funeral sermons housed in the library's stacks. We maintain a subscription to approximately 50 journals, providing answers to questions concerning sepulchral culture.

For quick and easy research, the library has a new online catalog where all titles from the museum's specific collection and subject area can be searched. The new online catalog is not only a valuable information resource but also a platform for the library and our research. It provides information about new publications, collection expansions, and special features of our archives, as well as their opening hours. No registration or membership is required to use the online catalog; our holdings are freely available to everyone. Students, professionals, and the general public are all invited to use this unique collection.
