history

Exhibition area at night (2004)

In 1974, the Nuremberg Exhibition Center began at the new location in Langwasser with around 60,000 m² of hall space, after there were no more options for expansion at the previous location at Berliner Platz in the north of Nuremberg near the city ​​park . By 2014 the exhibition center had been expanded to around 170,000 m² of exhibition space. The site extends over 15 exhibition halls, including a multi-purpose hall, which are grouped around the central exhibition park. It can be subdivided into individual segments and consists mainly of ground-level exhibition areas. The logistical separation of the two areas of visitors and exhibitors was taken into account in the planning.

On April 16, 2005, after a three-year construction period and with an investment volume of 60 million euros, a new congress center with the name CongressCenter Nürnberg Ost (CCN Ost) was inaugurated. In the six-storey building, all of the congress rooms have daylight and are accessible via an auditorium. It was designed by the Nuremberg architects S + P Heinz Seipel Gesellschaft von Architekten mbH. When the NürnbergConvention umbrella brand was founded by NürnbergMesse and the Nuremberg Congress and Tourism Center (CTZ), the convention center was renamed the NürnbergConvention Center (NCC).

The new Hall 3A was opened for the 2014 Spielwarenmesse . In 2018 , the new Hall 3C was also completed, also based on a design by Zaha Hadid Architects, which increases the exhibition grounds to 180,000 m².
