Messe Frankfurt has been known for its trade fairs for more than 800 years. In the Middle Ages, merchants and businessmen met in the “Römer,” a medieval building in the heart of the city that served as a marketplace; beginning in 1909, they met in the Festhalle. The first written record of Frankfurt’s trade fair dates back to the year 1150, and Frankfurt’s first very official autumn fair was approved and sealed in a letter from Emperor Frederick II on July 11, 1240. Around 90 years later, the Frankfurt Spring Fair received its privilege from Emperor Louis IV. From then on, fairs were held in Frankfurt twice a year, laying the foundation for today’s sector platforms of Messe Frankfurt.

The 14th century was the heyday for Frankfurt’s annual fairs in the Middle Ages, when they were considered the “marketplace of Germany.” As many as 40,000 people came to the city’s fairs, a number that was larger than the total population of “Francofurtia” at the time. The city’s geographical location at the crossroads of Europe gave it a priceless advantage very early in its history. As far back as the Middle Ages, its location on the most important European trade route – from Paris through Frankfurt and Leipzig to Nizhni- With the advent of the “Gründerzeit” at the end of the 19th century, the Frankfurt stock exchange world went from strength to strength. The main reason for this was the new type of exhibition for industrial technology. The first world fairs in London (1851) and Paris (1855) heralded the beginning of this new type of national exhibition. Frankfurt also participated in this boom: industrial exhibitions, cooking exhibitions, agricultural exhibitions and the first automobile exhibitions It is the cornerstone of the Ausstellungs- und Festhallen-Gesellschaft mbH, the company founded in 1907 and now known as Messe Frankfurt GmbH.
