Because of that, the catalogue contains more than 54,000 bibliographic
units of these institutions.

art history, arts and crafts, glass, ceramics, design, architecture,
literature and literary studies with the emphasis on Goethe and Heine,
film, theatre and performing arts, history of the city and region of
