Black German History and Experiences

(Highly recommended books)

Designed by Foster and Partners as part of the campus renovation, the 68,000-square-foot Philology Library houses some 700,000 books and consolidated 11 departmental libraries that had been scattered throughout the campus previously. Part of the Freie Universität Berlin Library, which comprises the University Library and around 40 departmental libraries with a total holdings of around 8 million printed items, 38,000 e-journals, 400,000 e-books, and 1300 databases, it was completed in 2005 and became an architectural jewel for both the University and the City of Berlin itself.
