Restricted access to university buildings on 3 May

For security reasons, the university will be restricting access to the main university building in part and completely restricting access to Building X and the interim library building from 12 noon tomorrow, Saturday 3 May. This is because the city has informed the University that some of the Dynamo Dresden fans travelling to the Arminia Bielefeld football match against Dynamo Dresden on 3 May have arranged to walk to the stadium together. The starting point of this fan march with an estimated 2,000 participants is the university campus.

The main university building will continue to be accessible via the entrances on the south side (from Konsequenz Street) from 12 noon on Saturday, 3 May. All other entrances, including the main entrance, will be closed.

According to the University Library, the Library Services Centre (BDZ) and the departmental libraries in the main building will be open as normal on 3 May. The departmental library in the Interim Library and the departmental library in Building X will close at 12 noon on 3 May.

Rector Angelika Epple says: "We are aware that this measure will restrict the ability to work on site at the university, but we hope that people will understand this safety measure."
