The Hanover Fair (spelling Hanover Fair , until 1962: German Industry Fair ) is an industrial fair with international significance. It takes place every spring in Hanover ( Lower Saxony ) at the Hanover Exhibition Center . This is the largest exhibition center in the world. The organizer is Deutsche Messe AG .

Despite spin-offs such as Light + Building (Frankfurt) and drupa (Düsseldorf), the Hanover Fair is still the largest capital goods fair . In 1986 CeBit was split off from the Hanover Fair. The largest trade fair for information technology took place annually at the same location until 2018. In 2017 the Hanover Fair recorded a new visitor record with 225,000 visitors (217,000 in 2015). More than 75,000 of them came from abroad. The main visitor countries were China (9,000), the Netherlands (6,200), India (5,300) and the partner country Poland, which set a new record with 5,000 visitors.

It did not take place in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic . In 2021 it will be an online event from April 12th to 16th.

  • Production technologies and services
  • Research and Development

The partner country of the Hanover Fair 2017 was Poland , 2016 it was the USA , 2015 it was India , 2014 the Netherlands , 2013 Russia , 2012 the People's Republic of China , 2011 France and 2010 Italy .

history

The beginnings from 1947

Export fair 1947 , Märklin stand
Export fair 1949
1987: Assessment of the first PET bottles , among others by Günter Mittag (GDR) and Berthold Beitz ( Krupp)

On the initiative of Lower Saxony's Minister of Economics, Alfred Kubel, and Gustav Bratke , City Director of Hanover, the Deutsche Messe and Exhibition AG Hanover-Laatzen was founded in 1947 , which organized the first "Export Fair 1947 Hanover" in competition with the Leipziger Messe . In this way the foundation stone was laid for the international establishment of the Hanover exhibition center and the success of the Hanover Fair, which has been taking place since then.

Since 1950 there has been an "Office Industry" section at the Hanover Fair. 1970 This was a separate hall, which by the architect Ernst Friedrich Brockmann built 1969/1970 Hall 1 CeBIT (for Ce ntre for B üro- and I nformation T echnology ). This segment grew so strongly in the following years that from 1986 CeBIT took place annually as an independent trade fair one month before the Hanover trade fair. CeBIT took place for the last time in 2018 in Hanover. Due to the strong influx of private interested parties who were not planned as visitors in the trade fair concept, there was a CeBIT Home especially for this target group in 1996 and 1998.

The motif of the Hanover Fair, a strongly stylized Hermes head , has remained almost unchanged since the first export fair in 1947. It also adorns the Hermes Award for innovation, which has been presented there since 2004 .
