In Rheinallee, these newspapers are collected in their cardboard boxes on floor 6; once a box is full, it is transferred to the alternative storage facility as quickly as possible. This means that issues from the last few weeks may be available, but it may also be the case that only issues from the last few days are available because the previous box has just been removed. Only items on floor 6 are available in Rheinallee.

The following canceled or discontinued newspapers/periodicals have been removed:
