Frequently Asked Questions

Where do Cologne trade fairs take place?

Most take place at Koelnmesse in Cologne-Deutz, on the east bank of the Rhine. Koelnmesse GmbH gives Messeplatz 1, 50679 Cologne as its address.

How big is the Koelnmesse exhibition centre?

According to Koelnmesse, it has 11 connected trade fair halls and 100,000 m² of outdoor area, and describes the total as almost 400,000 m² of exhibition space and outdoor area. Koelnmesse pages give the indoor hall area as 284,000 m² or around 290,000 m², so check the current hall plan for your show.

Where are the stand rules for Cologne shows?

Each show publishes its own exhibitor information and technical guidelines (for example ORGATEC and interzum), and Koelnmesse publishes House and Ground Regulations for the whole site. Stand heights, build-up times and approval deadlines are set per show and per hall, so always use the current documents for your event.

How do I get to Koelnmesse by public transport?

According to Koelnmesse, Köln Messe/Deutz station sits next to the grounds and is served by S-Bahn lines S6, S11, S12 and S19 and by high-speed trains; tram and underground lines 1 and 9 stop at the south entrance, and lines 3 and 4 serve the east, west and north entrances.

Can VAV Grup build my stand for a Cologne trade fair?

Yes. We design and manufacture custom stands in our 6,000 m² factory in İkitelli OSB, Istanbul, ship them to Germany and install them on site, with storage, quality checks and on-site support from our Hannover base.
