Hanover Fairground: Overview

The Hanover Fairground (in German: Messegelände Hannover) is an exhibition area in the Mittelfeld district of Hanover, Germany. Featuring 392,453 m² (4.2 million sq.ft.) of covered indoor space, 58,000 m² (624,306 sq ft) of open-air space, 24 halls and pavilions, and a convention center with 35 function rooms, it is the largest exhibition ground in the world.

The area of the fairground originally was an aircraft works. After World War II, the British military government in Allied-occupied Germany wanted to hold a trade fair and sought for a good place, since Leipzig, the traditional fairground of Germany, was unavailable, being in the Soviet occupation zone. The hangars in Laatzen, south of Hanover, were deemed suitable for this purpose, and so the Hanover Fair, then named Exportmesse 1947 was first held in 1947 to promote the economic recovery in the Bizone. The concept proved to be successful, and so a permanent fairground was established, growing over the years.

History:

In 1947 economic of Germany after war was weaker, and many workers needs to follow again the passion for reconstruct the name of country for the rest of the world. That’s how was born “Deutsche Messe-und Ausstellungs-AG”. At the same year graphic artist Paul Rademacher created overnight the symbol and face of Hanover Messe “Head of Greek God of trade and commerce”- Hermes.

Three years later in 1950 – foreign exhibitors took part in event called “Deutsche – Industrie – Messe”. In 1961 the name was changed to “Hanover Messe”. That message to world, claims how proud are citizens of Hanover with the role of the city in a postwar industrial upturn.

“Deutsche Messe” or Hanover Fairground now is the largest exhibition centre of the world and it’s also called “the miracle of economics”. With 58,000 m2 area and 466,100 m2 indoor space, 26 halls, green areas and chill out zones, this centre is place of one of most outstanding trade fairs like CeBit, EuroBlech, Domotex.
