Koelnmesse GmbH Cologne, Germany: About

Koelnmesse GmbH (Cologne Trade Fair) is an international trade fair and exhibition center located in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. With around 80 trade fairs and over 2,000 conferences annually, Koelnmesse is one of the country’s largest trade fair organisers and with 284,000 m² exhibition floor area the third largest by area.

The Cologne Trade Fair ground was founded in 1922. Until 2005, the trade fair was based in the historic Rheinhallen, and since then moved into new premises next to them. The old Fair Tower Cologne (Messeturm Köln) is a landmark building from 1928 and features a tower restaurant on the top floor.

Koelnmesse is centrally located in the Deutz district of Cologne, right at the heart of Europe's largest economic region, with excellent transport links. — Koelnmesse is centrally located in the Deutz district of Cologne, right at the heart of Europe’s largest economic region, with excellent transport links.

Since 2018, the fair has been undergoing the greatest renovation works in its history. They are expected to last until 2030 and cost €600 million. Two thirds of that amount will be spent renovating the seven southern halls, dating from the 1970s.

The trade fair grounds lie in Cologne’s right-Rhenish district of Deutz, directly adjacent to Köln Messe / Deutz station to the south. Among others, the station has ICE connections by Deutsche Bahn to Köln Hbf and Cologne / Bonn Airport. West of the trade fair grounds lies the Rheinpark, a 40 hectare large park on the River Rhine, and Tanzbrunnen, an open-air theater.

Apart from the Köln Messe / Deutz station to the south, the Cologne trade fair center is also served by the Cologne Stadtbahn Koelnmesse station to the East.
