Behavior in the 24-hour library
Concerns/Category:
- All courses
- Library
As you have probably already noticed, the libraries can only be used with 24h access from December 23rd (Amberg)/ December 24th (Weiden) up to and including January 6th.
We would therefore like to remind you once again of the rules of conduct during the 24-hour period:Behave quietly and considerately when using the library to study and work!
If you want to talk louder, make phone calls or work in a group, please go to our group rooms or in the library foyer. The large, open library room is not suitable for this!
If you notice that people are talking loudly in the library, it is best to address them directly.
(During our staffed opening hours, you can also report it to the library staff at the counter).Mutual respect applies during the 24-hour library.
The 24-hour library is a quiet place for all students.
The 24-hour access can only function in the long term with mutual consideration from everybody!Thank you for your help.
We wish you a nice and relaxing Christmas break!

Information on purchasing the discounted Germany ticket
Dear Students,
You have the opportunity to purchase a “Deutschlandticket” travel card at a reduced price (special price for Bavarian students) for £38.00 per month.
For OTH Amberg-Weiden students, ordering the discounted Deutschlandticket is straightforward and can be done digitally via the transport company VAG. Please visit the following website: https://meinabo.vag.de/
There, under the “Deutschlandtickets” tab, select “Ermäßigungsticket Studierende” (student discount ticket). On the website that opens, you can select the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Amberg-Weiden. Verification runs in the background, so you do not need to fill out a paper confirmation form from us.
Kind regards,
Your Students´ Office Amberg and Weiden
