history

In 1901 there was the first German and in 1904 the first Czech public library in Reichenberg.

The library of the Germans in Czechoslovakia was founded on May 26, 1923 by the writer, publisher and bibliographer Friedrich Jaksch in Reichenberg and collected the German-language literature in the former Czechoslovakia before 1938 and 1945. In 1945 the library became the property of the Czechoslovakian State over. Much of the library was lost in a fire in 1954.

From 1996 the new building of the library "Construction of Reconciliation" took place under the patronage of Presidents Václav Havel and Roman Herzog , which was inaugurated on November 9, 2000, the day of remembrance.
