Our exhibition grounds

This is where the world comes together. Exhibitors and visitors attend our trade fairs to meet other people with similar interests and to network. Just like around a campfire; then as now, people come together to find orientation, inspiration and community. Gathered around this "hearth", people make deals and share knowledge. It's also where people have fun. And where people trust one another.

No one fire is like another. And each of the different halls on the Frankfurt exhibition grounds is unique as well. Over the course of a century, a variety of historic and modern buildings has been constructed to offer space for trade fairs and every type of event. Their appearance reflects the constant change and transformation undergone by Messe Frankfurt.

For over 800 years, Frankfurt has been well known for its trade fairs.
Our history

Today the Frankfurt exhibition grounds cover 578,000 square metres. With its ten halls and adjoining Congress Center, it is one of the largest exhibition venues in the world.
