Library

The institute library is accessible to both university members and external users (e.g. from the judiciary), but due to its character as a reference library, it is generally not possible to borrow items. The collection can be accessed via the university library's online catalogues (OPAC). In particular, monographs, collections of decisions and journals on the law of the member states of the European Union are collected. A substantial part of the basic stock was acquired from the Leibniz Research Prize of the DFG awarded to Christian v. Bar in 1993.

The Institute's library primarily collects works on European Union law and on the non-European jurisdictions of common law. As far as possible, titles on the law of the Member States are also collected from the fields of general administrative law, economic constitutional and economic administrative law, energy, antitrust and environmental law. The Institute has good holdings on private international law, legal harmonisation and comparative law.

The library is also the European Documentation Centre (EDZ) with a further 6000 volumes.
