The Albertina Library (Bibliotheca Albertina) - City of Leipzig

The Albertina Library (named at the time for the reigning Saxon king, Albert) was built between 1887 and 1891. It was an extremely modern library for the time, with lifts for book carts, fireproof iron doors and the division throughout the entire building between public areas and library offices. Construction costs, including interior furnishings, came to 2.3 million Reichsmarks. The building dedication took place on October 24, 1891.
