The Landesbibliothek Coburg is a regional state (scientific) library under the administration of the Free State of Bavaria. It has its seat in the Ehrenburg Palace in Coburg and brings together the historical book collections of the dukes reigning in Coburg and their relatives. The library has a stock of about 450,000 volumes of current and historical literature as well as 400 manuscripts, 151 incunables and about 6,500 autographs. The core collections include the former Court and State Library Saxe-Coburg with approximately 55,000 volumes, mainly from the 17th to 19th centuries, and the Ducal Private Library with 14,500 titles. But also the historical library of the Casimirianum Coburg with 15,000 titles in 7,500 volumes, mainly from the 16th to 18th century, and the Scheres library, built up by the former Coburg chancellor Johann Conrad von Scheres, called Zieritz (1641-1704), with legal literature of the 17th century, is to be included. The Luther Library and the Niederfüllbach Castle Library are also important. The Luther Collection was set up by Albert, Prince Consort in memory of Martin Luther's stay at Veste Coburg in 1530. It contains 850 volumes, mainly contemporary Luther prints and older secondary literature. The Niederfüllbach Castle Library was created by Leopold I of Belgium from the House of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld before his election as King of the Belgians in 1831. With just over 500 volumes, it is representative of the agriculture and forestry and modern estate management of the time. More information...
