Patrons of the library

The library is supported with a space sponsorship by the Zeppelin Group. The company offers forward-looking solutions in the areas of construction and agricultural machinery, rental for construction and industry, construction logistics, propulsion and energy, and engineering and plant construction. Furthermore, the Zeppelin Group sponsors four chairs at ZU and is involved in the areas of recruitment and management training.

Translated quote: "Free access to education, information and culture is a fundamental right of all people. Libraries are places of learning and further development, they are places of encounter and exchange, and they promote the information and media skills of their users. The Zeppelin Group's commitment to science and education has a long tradition. We are pleased to be able to support the ZU Library and thus promote access to education for students and interested parties."

Peter Gerstmann | Chairman of the Management Board of Zeppelin GmbH

Original quote: „Der freie Zugang zu Bildung, Information und Kultur ist ein grundlegendes Recht aller Menschen. Bibliotheken sind Orte des Lernens und der Weiterentwicklung, sie sind Orte der Begegnung und des Austauschs und fördern die Informations- und Medienkompetenz ihrer Nutzerinnen und Nutzer. Das Engagement des Zeppelin Konzerns für Wissenschaft und Bildung hat eine lange Tradition. Wir freuen uns, die ZU Bibliothek unterstützen zu können und damit den Zugang zur Bildung für Studierende und Interessierte zu fördern.“

ZU is proud to look back on a long-standing partnership with the Werner and Elfi Spaeth Foundation.
The foundation, which was founded and is based in Ravensburg, has in the past donated prizes for outstanding theses and in 2015 financed the eJournal package "Business and Economics" from Springer-Verlag. The eJournal package includes 130 journals that are of utmost importance for the study of economics at ZU.
