Horst Oppel's Shakespeare Library
At the beginning of the 1990s, the estate of Horst Oppel, a renowned German Anglicist and member of the Academy, was donated to the library. The estate contains more than 1000 volumes.
The collection of this Shakespeare researcher comprises not only a number of rare editions but also German and English secondary literature, including 19 works from the 19th century - in some cases first editions -, literary histories, German translations of Shakespeare's works, comparative studies, biographies and Oppel's own works.
The works are arranged systematically and can be consulted on request in the reading room of the library.
