The article on Focus Online provides an insight into the history and development of the event hall, whose striking, cantilevered roof at the main entrance was designed by Gerber Architekten.

The arched, wooden roof structures above the symmetrically arranged exhibition halls not only enable efficient use of space, but also create an inviting architecture that integrates the Black Forest landscape into the trade fair experience.

Since the completion of our project 20 years ago, more than 1800 events have taken place, attracting around 10 million guests. Today, the exhibition center is regarded as a central meeting point for trade fairs, congresses and events. It welcomes up to 750,000 visitors and around 8,000 exhibitors every year, including international participants.

Messe Karlsruhe is not only a place of innovation, but also a symbol of economic success in the region. We would like to congratulate the company on its 20th anniversary and look forward to many more successful years as a partner in the realization of forward-looking event venues.
