Discontinuation of cash payments as of 01.01.2026
From 01.01.2026, unfortunately, only card payments will be possible at the pay machine. Due to the percentage increase in fees on 01.02.2026 (see below), 1, 2 and 5-cent coins would be required in order to be able to pay all types of fees in cash appropriately. We have therefore decided to refrain from accepting cash payments in future, as the effort involved would be too great.
Increase in fees as of 01.02.2026
The fees at the University Library of Hamburg University of Technology (TUB) are based on the current version of the Gebührenordnung der Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg Carl von Ossietzky (SUB).
