It is both the regional library (german: Landesbibliothek) for the German State of Saxony as well as the academic library for the Dresden University of Technology (german: Technische Universität Dresden).

Its collection numbers nearly nine million, making it one of the largest public archival centers in the Federal Republic of Germany. It holds significant treasures, including the Codex Dresdensis, an octagonal Koran from 1184 and a copy of the Pete ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
