Explore the library interactively with Actionbound!

Discover the German National Library by taking part in exciting digital scavenger hunts and guided tours or by solving puzzles in an app. Join our interactive tours, which are a fun way to learn about the fascinating world of Germany’s central archival library. People of all ages are welcome to take part, whether alone or with friends and family. Different activities are available at our sites in Leipzig and Frankfurt am Main. Some take place inside the building and others outside, while a few are not tied to any location and allow you to take part virtually no matter where you are.

The tours use the app “Actionbound”, which must be downloaded free of charge beforehand. You can then launch the activity by scanning the QR code.

The Actionbounds are only available in German.
