The Archive library is a large reference library (there is no longer a lending service) with a focus on automotive technology and the automobile economy. It is a perfect complement to the archive collection. In addition to the many volumes on the Mercedes-Benz brand, Daimler AG and its predecessor companies, there is also
a comprehensive stock of works dealing with the topics of automotive and technological history in general. Along with other publications dating from the early years of motoring, an almost complete edition of the Allgemeine Automobil Zeitung,
a car magazine first published in 1900, is a remarkable rarity on the international library scene. In addition, there are many books published by the Archive itself.
In total the library has around 10,000 books and 220 magazines, 90 of which are currently in print.
