The name "Virchow Bibliothek" stands at a fascinating crossroads of history and modernity. It represents the tragic loss of a visionary thinker's personal library, a collection of 12,689 volumes that vanished in the chaos of war, likely to Moscow. Yet, it also lives on vibrantly in the Charité's world-class Medical Library on the Virchow Campus. This modern facility, with its vast resources and hundreds of thousands of digital and printed works, honors Virchow's legacy by ensuring that the pursuit of medical knowledge continues to thrive in the digital age.
It protects rare manuscripts and early medical texts that trace the evolution of anatomical knowledge and surgical techniques.
The CVK library features quiet reading areas, group study rooms, and computer pools designed to facilitate intensive medical research and coursework.
