Summary/Abstract: The Eutin library celebrated its modest jubilee last year but at the same time it draws attention to the 25 years of the existence of a scientific unit dealing with the history and culture of traveling. In a tiny town in the north of Germany, the library stores the attention-grabbing collection of 18 thousand volumes of diaries, memories, original manuscripts and prints, a collection of maps and atlases (over 5,000) on various information carriers. What is also available there is Wolfgang Grieg’s constantly updated bibliography of literature and sources found in other collections, currently including 24 thousand titles.
