With more than 800 years of history, the Leipzig Trade Fair is one of the oldest in the world. Today it devotes particular attention to the markets of Central and Eastern Europe. Authors and readers meet here for Germany’s second-largest book fair, the literature festival “Leipzig Reads”, and in the project “Art at the Trade Fair” the exhibition grounds become a space for art works. The Leipzig Trade Fair successfully unites past tradition and the present. The world’s oldest trade fair venue, it is also one of the most modern. It was only in 1996 that the impressive new complex was opened, its futuristic glass and steel architecture symbolising transparency and cosmopolitan thinking.
