A hygiene concept has been drawn up for the on site-consultation of the archives. After confirmed registration, please enter the premises of the IfZ only with FFP2 mask and register at the front desk. The FFP2 mask must be worn throughout the IfZ building, including in the reading rooms. The hygiene rules for the use of the archives and library can be found here.
