State Farm Library in Kiel Reopens After Two-Year Closure

After a two-year closure, the State Farm library in Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, has reopened its doors to the public. The reopening was announced by Minister of Culture Dorit Stenke (CDU) and marked with an open house day.

The State Farm library, a 'third place' designed as a unique meeting point that is neither private nor professional, aims to connect people with the history, culture, and traditions of Schleswig-Holstein. It serves as a casual encounter spot within the city, fostering exchange among citizens.

The library, the first scientific regional library in Germany, is home to an extensive collection of over 230,000 books, 37,000 visual documents, 25,000 sheet music pieces, and 8,000 maps. It also houses a collection of coins and emergency money, preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.

Minister Stenke described the State Farm library as a 'learning space of the future.' The renovated library has been designed to provide space for casual encounters within the city, reflecting its role as a hub for community engagement.

However, the person who coordinated the renovation and reopening of the State Archives in Kiel remains unnamed in the provided search results.

The State Farm library's reopening comes at a time when it is needed more than ever. As a place where people can gather, learn, and exchange ideas, the library plays a vital role in fostering a sense of community and promoting cultural understanding.

Public operations at the redesigned State Farm library in Kiel resumed on Saturday, offering the people of Schleswig-Holstein a chance to reconnect with their history and culture. The State Farm library continues to serve as a testament to the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and promoting education and community engagement.
