Regulations for Study Desks

HU-Homezone

Some of the workstations are reserved exclusively for HU members. Please make sure that your CampusCard or orange library card is clearly visible on the desks.

The HU-homezone includes:

  • All workstations on the reading room terraces and at the window fronts from the 1st to 6th floor between 09:00 and 19:00.
  • The open stack area on the 6th floor (behind the research reading room). Please show your CampusCard/library card at the entrance.

Non-HU members please use the workstations on the ground floor and on the 7th floor.

The computer workstations in the PC rooms are not part of the HU-Homezone and can be used by all readers.

Background to the regulations

The Grimm-Zentrum is heavily frequented, especially during examination periods. Please support us so that we can continue to support study, teaching and research at Humboldt-Universität.

Break discsPausenscheibe

Break discs are available at the workstations for your break.

When interrupting work, please set the current time and leave the break disc clearly visible on the table.
If you are absent for 60 minutes or more, you lose your entitlement to this workstation. It can then be cleared by the staff and occupied by other users. Personal belongings are deposited at the edge of the workstation. When leaving the building, please leave the break disc at the workstation.

If a break disc is missing, please contact security.
