Lending
More than 100,000 media for all ages and tastes are presented by the Medienhaus am See on three levels.
You need a customer ID card to be able to borrow items from the media center. You will receive this upon presentation of a valid ID card or passport.
Children and young people up to the age of 16 require a declaration of consent from their parents or legal guardians in addition to their ID card or student ID card.
If you lose your customer ID card, please notify us immediately, as well as any change of address or name. Please use our contact form for this purpose.
Use of the Medienhaus is free of charge for children and young people up to their 21st birthday and Hartz IV recipients. Adults can choose which tariff they want to use when they register.
- Adults over the age of 21 pay optionally:
- 4 euros for a period of four weeks
- 17 euros for a period of twelve months
- 10 euros for a partner card to an existing card
For certain media, an additional lending fee is charged to all users. This also applies to renewals. All users pay a 2 Euro lending fee for bestsellers, DVDs and console games.
Any fees incurred must be paid within four weeks at the media centre or by bank transfer. Our bank details.
