Bavarian state library

As a regular in this library I can’t complain too much. The seats are decent, the large majority seems to understand how to behave in a library, clean, fresh air, light and power plug. The large criticism is the booking system however. I don’t think it’s up to the library but the discrepancy between the almost always booked-out app seats vs how the library then looks in actuality is annoying. It’s always a certain competition to get a spot but then you arrive and it’s almost entirely empty (maybe 15% actually take their spot). Tragedy of public goods I guess. Also, don’t try and make your library ID on Sat/Sun (I know, self explanatory in Bavaria, but I thought it was maybe automated and possible without immediate contact to the administration) Edit: there is some odd rule that at 4pm all reservations time out and you need a new reservation. But having one reservation before 4pm means you can’t reserve the evening as well. 0 point in doing so.

One of the best places to study and work in Munich. Either you are Schüler, Student or Working Students, you can use the place here just manage to be quiet. The desk were very fancy and the internet was superb (eduroam with access from uni). The bookshelves were very instagramable. Absolutely great idea if you’re bored with home office or wfh stuff! You can feel study with others not forever alone. Just don’t forget to reserve the place in website. If you’re thirsty just bring your bottle and if you’re hungry they have cafeteria with big meals so affordable open til 19. The reading room workplace open until 22. 💪🏻😀

The Bavarian State Library is a paradise for book lovers and researchers. With its vast collection, stunning architecture, and helpful staff, it offers a rich intellectual experience. Accessing materials can be complex, but the overall grandeur and richness make it a haven for scholars and enthusiasts.

One of the best libraries in Munich. Comfortable, quiet, spacious, closes at midnight, and opens almost every day. Quite busy during weekend mornings. Might have to come early to get a place if it's exam dates.

It’s well organised. There are a lot of spots for reading/studying: good thing is that the tables are single so you won’t be bothered by your neighbour! :) Usually open till midnight, if you’re planning to read/study you’ll be allowed in only with transparent bags and transparent water bottles (no tumblers). There are lockers right after the entrance and also a cafeteria.

It would be an idiotic choice even to have a slight connection to this place. For gods sake we are living in 21st century and Germany’s 3rd biggest city, not some barbaric Bavarian village where everyone speaks Bayrisch and still worships the König. If they fear that books might be stolen, the just add electronic labels or do something else rather than treating every visitor as thieves. Maybe that’s Bayern.

Very good place to learn and study Quit learning area / hall - register for the BSB card - Book an appointment before - Keep your stuff in the locker

Very spacious place for studying. But you must lock your stuff in lockers including heavy jacket, which is quite inconvenient..
