Are you planning a visit or workshop at the German Literature Archive with students? Please fill out our form ›University workshops, excursions and seminars‹ and contact the Research Department for the date and further details of your visit.planning (forschung@dla-marbach.de).

Please note that the number of workstations in the manuscripts reading room may be limited, especially throughout the spring and summer. We recommend planning your visit in advance.

For longer visits, we offer rooms in our Collegium House (self-catering). Please note that a minimum reservation of two nights is required and that restrictions may apply during peak periods at the DLA, especially in summer.

We recommend that you take advantage of an online catalogue introduction before your visit. Our experience has shown that everyone involved benefits greatly from this. If you are interested in such an introduction, we will be happy to connect you directly with the colleagues responsible. 

We also offer regular public online catalogue introductions. Dates and information can be found here:

- Introduction to manuscript research
- Researching library and media documentation materials
