The FGSV has a comprehensive academic library that specialises in works relating to all aspects of the road and transport sector. This library is open to the public. Anyone is welcome to use the library during opening hours. However, we do ask that you phone in advance if you would like to use the library.

Main library focus:
Literature on the history of roads
You can download an overview (PDF format) of selected documents on the history of roads here. (German only)
DOWNLOADDigital research reports
The FGSV library has started digitalising research reports and old stock. Our objective in doing so is to make existing but less well-known research reports, manuscripts and archive material in our library accessible for digital use over time. Most of the research reports and photo archive material in the library have already been digitalised.
You can access all documents in the FGSV library on site at our premises in Cologne. We also lend literature on request. The loan period is four weeks. Some publications (e.g. publications that are currently available to buy from FGSV Verlag) are not available on loan. Borrowing literature is generally free of charge.
