The Messe Stuttgart is an exhibition area of Baden-Wuerttemberg state capital Stuttgart . With a hall capacity of almost 120,000 m², it is the eighth largest German trade fair .
Location and infrastructure
Messe Stuttgart is located around ten kilometers south of downtown Stuttgart on the outskirts of the city of Leinfelden-Echterdingen in the Esslingen district . The site on which the trade fair was built is located between the A 8 and the B 27 , which provide road connections, and Stuttgart Airport .
Local transport connections to Stuttgart, the neighboring cities of Filderstadt and Leinfelden-Echterdingen as well as the northern region are provided by the S-Bahn lines S2 and S3 via the Stuttgart Airport / Messe station . Bus routes run to and from Esslingen (122), Reutlingen (X3) and Tübingen (828). There are national and international long-distance bus connections to the Stuttgart Airport Bus Terminal . As part of the Stuttgart 21 project , the exhibition center and airport are to be connected to the new Stuttgart – Wendlingen (–Ulm) line via the airport loop from December 2021 . Another station is to be built with the Filderbahnhof . Another project that has been under construction since mid-2018 is the connection via the light rail network . The U6 line is to be extended by the end of 2021 from the previous terminus at Fasanenhof Schelmenwasen to the new terminus Flughafen / Messe , which is being built north of Flughafenstrasse at the level of the Messepiazza and Terminals 1/2.
history
Former Killesberg exhibition center
International trade fairs and exhibitions were held at the Killesberg exhibition center for over 50 years until 2007. A decade-long era came to an end with the “Babywelt Stuttgart” trade fair from October 5th to 7th, 2007 on the partially demolished exhibition grounds.
With a total size of approx. 54,500 m², the former exhibition grounds consisted of a total of 13 halls of various sizes as well as the exhibition and congress center A / B.
The Killesberg exhibition center could be reached in five minutes from Stuttgart Central Station via the U7 light rail line . The line was designed for high traffic performance thanks to 10-minute intervals and double traction . Today the U5 goes there, but only every 20 minutes.
Due to its narrow location between residential areas and the Killesberg Park, the fair suffered from major traffic problems. In addition, a spatial expansion on the Killesberg was not possible.
In December 2006 the concept for the reuse of the areas of the old exhibition grounds was approved by the Stuttgart city council. A residential building for older people (“ Augustinum Stuttgart II”), retail, service providers and apartments were built on parts of the site . Furthermore, the Killesberg Park was expanded. In addition, the old “Rote Wand” car park was demolished.
On August 26, 2007, the demolition work on the old exhibition grounds began with the demolition of the connecting bridge over Stresemannstrasse, between Halls 10 and 11. Today nothing can be seen of the fair on the Killesberg.
New exhibition
The plans for a new building for the Stuttgart exhibition center go back to 1993, when a site report showed the location between the A 8 and Stuttgart Airport to be optimal. At the end of 1996 the first negotiations took place to acquire the required land. The affected farmers and the city of Leinfelden-Echterdingen rejected the construction of the trade fair, which meant the sealing of around 100 hectares of particularly fertile Filderböden .
In the early 1990s, the estimated cost was around 300 million euros. The first financing concept of the Stuttgart exhibition and congress company in 1997 saw a framework of one billion DM (around 511 million euros). After that, the country should provide 150 million euros in debt service aid.
In December 1998, the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg passed the so-called state fair law. This formed the basis for the approval procedure for the construction of the New Stuttgart Trade Fair Center.
Neue Messe GmbH & Co. KG acts as the developer and owner, while Landesmesse Stuttgart GmbH acts as the operating company . The state holds 45 percent of the shares in the project company through the holding company of the state of Baden-Württemberg and half of the shares in the operating company.
On February 11, 2000, the design by the Stuttgart architecture firm Wulf & Partner emerged as the winner in a two-stage competition with 108 participants . This office was then entrusted with the planning and execution of the property. The project management for the project was taken over by Drees & Sommer .
The planning approval procedure started on July 2, 2001. The start of construction was expected in 2003 and the opening in autumn 2006. There were several demonstrations by conservationists against the development of one of the most productive agricultural areas in Baden-Württemberg and by farmers who feared for their existence. Many of the landowners received compensation financially or in the form of new land, but in the opinion of several owners this was far below the market value of the respective land. So there were always protracted lawsuits that were decided in favor of the country in all cases.
Due to increased costs and lower income expectations, a new financing concept was drawn up in 2001 and a corresponding financing agreement was signed in July 2002 for 805.79 million euros. This did not include any reserves for price increases or unforeseen events and no financing costs for the client. Financing should come from federal, state and municipal funds as well as from funds from the Stuttgart Region Association, the airport and industry.
In the summer of 2004 an extraordinary comparison took place between the state government and the remaining property owners, so that in September 2004 construction of the new exhibition center could begin. The foundation stone was laid on June 15, 2005. The topping-out ceremony was celebrated on September 25, 2006.
On June 13, 2007, the "Blechexpo" was the provisional opening of the new trade fair. On October 19, 2007, the new state trade fair was inaugurated in the presence of Federal President Horst Köhler .
In May 2011 the cost of the project was given as around 816 million euros. 18 million euros in costs that would have to be added to the project costs were billed outside of the financing planning and outside of the budget. Various items contained in the original cost accounting were not implemented or implemented in a simplified form. Together with the traffic structures and the administration building, the total costs are around one billion euros.
According to the state audit office of Baden-Württemberg, 55 trade fairs were held on 107 days in 2011. Accordingly, there were no trade fairs on 258 days. The management of Messe Stuttgart contrasted this with the fact that construction and dismantling days are part of every trade fair that were not taken into account by the State Audit Office. The spokesman for the management, Ulrich Kromer, put the utilization of the halls at 190 to 260 days (depending on the hall), around 365 days a year, minus around 90 holidays and public holidays.
The exhibition company built another hall (Paul Horn Hall) on the exhibition grounds from 2016 to 2018. Parts of the large trade fair car park were used for this purpose. The expansion is financed from its own resources. The new hall is 153 meters long and 95 meters wide and has a gross floor area of 25,000 m² and an exhibition area of 14,600 m². The investment costs for the design by the Wulf Architects amounted to around 67.5 million euros. The construction of the new exhibition hall and the new west entrance began in January 2016, the completion and the ceremonial inauguration took place at the start of the Caravan, Motor und Touristik in January 2018.
In 2018 more than 1.36 million visitors came to the Stuttgart exhibition center. With around 178 million euros, Landesmesse Stuttgart GmbH achieved the highest total income in the company's history, and it also achieved its highest levels of exhibitor numbers (23,571) and the intensity of use of the exhibition grounds ( hall turnover factor 15.7).

Exhibition halls
The trade fair, designed by the Stuttgart office of Wulf Architekten , has seven standard halls with no central supports, each measuring 10,500 m², Hall 10 (Paul Horn Hall) with 14,600 m² and a high hall with a gross exhibition area of 26,800 m², in which sports and cultural events can also take place .
The communication and event center of the Landesmesse is the International Congress Center ICS at the Messepiazza. It includes a congress and exhibition hall (4,900 m²), a congress hall (2,600 m²) and a flexible wall system with a variable number of up to 25 meeting and conference rooms (a total of 1,700 m²). The total capacity is 10,000 places.
With the completion of Hall 10 (Paul Horn Hall), which is spanned by 68 meter long glued wood beams (the supporting structures of the other halls are made of steel), Messe Stuttgart has a total of around 120,000 m² of exhibition space. The connection of the light rail line U6 to the west entrance of the fair planned from 2016 to 2018 is planned for the timetable period 2019/20.

Fair park
Between the ICS and Halls 4, 6 and 8 on the south side and Halls 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 on the north side of the exhibition center, the 28,000 m² exhibition park extends over three levels. It is only accessible during trade fairs. The naming rights to "Rothauspark" were acquired by the Rothaus brewery .
Parking garage
A noticeable part of the new trade fair is the multi-storey car park consisting of two “fingers” across the A8 . The facility cost 73 million euros and offers space for 4,200 vehicles on five floors. Of the 440-meter-long, 100-meter-wide and 22-meter-high structure, 100 meters run unsupported at a height of 10 meters above the motorway, the motorway junction and the planned express train route. Between the two fingers, at the level of the first parking level, there is a footpath to the fair. The multi-storey car park was financed by Stuttgart Airport, as mixed use (trade fair visitors and passengers) is planned for the parking areas.
Due to the limited space available and in order to avoid obstructing the A8 as much as possible, the parking garage was pushed over the motorway using the incremental launching method . The shifts took place over ongoing traffic.
The Robert Bosch GmbH has acquired the naming rights to the park, which therefore officially named "Bosch parking garage" and is provided on both sides with Bosch lettering. Each letter of the 55 meter long and 8 meter high logo weighs around four tons, the stylized ignition anchor is 12 meters in diameter and weighs 12 tons. It is currently one of the largest neon signs in the world and, after the unlit Hollywood sign , the world's second largest sign. 18,000 white and red light-emitting diodes provide lighting that automatically adapts to the lighting conditions and should neither dazzle drivers nor irritate nocturnal insects.
According to the Baden-Württemberg Court of Auditors, the car park cannot be operated economically with costs of more than 19,000 euros per parking space. The utilization of the underground car park is less than ten percent even during major trade fairs. According to the Court of Auditors, the state fair could have been realized 46 million euros cheaper without sacrificing quality.
