The library is currently closed. It will reopen on 6 May 2025. For up-to-date information, please visit the library page or check the catalog/OPAC.

Starting in 2025, we will continue our work at the E-Werk, our temporary base until the completion of a planned film house. This historically significant transformer station was a central hub of industrial development in turn-of-the-century Berlin and a highlight of club culture in the 1990s. We are excited to soon be able to present film and television culture in this industrial monument.

In autumn 2025, we plan to reopen with an inaugural exhibition. Our library, archives, and collections are expected to be accessible again starting in the second quarter of 2025. The large hall on the ground floor and the former ticket hall will provide a spectacular setting for experimental formats. Series such as “Filmspotting”, “Fernsehsalon”, “Aus dem Fernseharchiv”, the “Film Restored” Film Heritage Festival and various educational offerings will be presented here. Existing partnerships, such as the one with the Berlinale, will continue at the E-Werk.

Screenings and presentations of films will be possible in a planned cinema. Collections such as the Photo Archive, Document Archive, the Personal Papers and Company Archives and parts of the Marlene Dietrich Archive will still be accessible at our temporary base. We will continuously restore and digitize films, allowing the film distribution service to expand its portfolio – thus remaining actively engaged and open to all.
