20 individual study carrels will be allocated to HU members for a fixed period (max. 8 weeks) and raffled off among the applications received. They are intended to enable intensive and focussed work. To take part in the lottery, please complete the form below.


Application for the usage period May/June 2025

Requirements for the application:

  • You are a student at Humboldt-Universität.
  • You are writing your bachelor's or master's thesis.
  • You are writing your thesis in a subject whose holdings are located at Grimm-Zentrum (see list of subjects in the frame on the bottom left "Subjects Covered").

To the application form

As proof of the registration of an academic thesis, we require confirmation from the examination office or your supervising professor. For this purpose, a pre-prepared form for the supervisors will automatically be sent to the "winners" of the application.

Applications received by 24.03.2025 will take part in the draw. Applications received after this date will be listed as successors.

 

Frequently asked questions about our study carrels

Why are the cabins raffled off?

Experience shows that there are more applications than study carrels. Therefore, the carrels will be raffled after the application deadline. Only the "winners" will then be informed by e-mail.

Who can apply for a study carrel at Grimm-Zentrum and what should be considered?

Only HU students who are writing their final thesis in one of the subjects covered by the Grimm-Zentrum (see list of subjects below left) can apply. A study carrel can only be used once per thesis (max. 8 weeks). Students of other subjects should contact the relevant branch library.
For doctoral students, the Humboldt Graduate School offers temporary working places.

When and how do I find out after the application whether I will receive a study carrel?

Shortly after the end of the application phase, you will receive an e-mail from us asking you to submit the required documents by e-mail as soon as possible.

When are the calls for applications for a study carrel and how are they advertised?

We will inform you about the calls and the activation of the online application form via web news.

What do I do if I have lost the key to my study carrel?

Please contact one of our service desks as soon as possible or write to gz-ausleihe@ub.hu-berlin.de. We will clear the study carrel to prevent misuse. For security reasons, the lock must be replaced. The costs are to be borne in full by the user.
