German and international tin figure exchange in Kulmbach
The German and international tin figure exchange is a visitor / trade fair for tin figures that takes place every two years in Kulmbach . It assumes the role of the leading trade fair in this area .
history
For the first time, the forerunner of the fair called the stock exchange took place on a small scale in 1937. There were no events from 1940 to 1952 due to the war. The first post-war exchange was held in 1953. With the steady growth, beginning in 1969, a count began, so that in 2009 the (official) "22nd German and international tin figure exchange" was held.
Fair time
The fair takes place every two years at the beginning of August in years with an uneven end of the year following the Kulmbacher Beer Week . It is open from Friday to Sunday noon.
Fair location
The stock exchange always takes place in Kulmbach. In the beginning, the stock exchange locations there included the vocational school in Georg-Hagen-Strasse (1975–1977), the Kulmbach-Weiher school center (1979–1983), and the Sandler-Halle (1985). Since 1987 the venue has been the beer tent of the Kulmbacher Beer Week in the middle of Kulmbach on the central car park.
