Find of the month

Fulda address book from the 1870s
Our current find belongs to a type of source that is of great interest to local history and genealogy researchers: this refers to the Fulda address books, which - as in other larger cities from the second half of the 19th century - were created as a preliminary form of the later population registers. They were published at regular intervals and were usually organised by street. In addition to accompanying city maps and adverts, a business directory of local traders was also common. With their help, it is still possible today to reconstruct who lived in a house at what time and what professions the respective residents were appointed to. This information was not only of interest to contemporaries, but is still relevant for historical research today - for example when laying so-called "stumbling stones" in memory of deported Jewish residents during the Nazi era. You can find some of our earliest address books in our "FulDig" digital collections.

Memory case for people with dementia

These media boxes are aimed at individuals who provide voluntary care or nursing care, as well as institutions, such as retirement homes or home care workers. They are particularly suitable for working with people with advanced dementia. Depending on the topic, they contain books, CDs and games. The activating games are mainly large-format puzzles, memory games, tactile and laying games.

Would you like to find out more about the memory cases? Then click here (only in German).

Library licence

We are now offering day nursery and pre-school children the opportunity to obtain a library licence. Three visits to the library are confirmed on a stamp card.
As soon as the card is full, each child is issued with a library licence and a certificate as a degree.

If you are interested and would like to make an appointment, please contact us by email at kiju(at)hlb.hs-fulda.de.
