Trade Fair Rostock

You find yourself standing at the edge of the HanseMesse Rostock, its glassy facade reflecting the vastness of the Baltic Sea. One moment you are surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the city, and the next, you are transported to a world dedicated to innovation and exchange. This sprawling complex, opened in 2003, is a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit of Rostock. The Trade Fair Rostock, known as the HanseMesse, is a regional exhibition center with enough exhibition space to be considered a major player in the trade fair arena. This is not just a place to see, but a place to be – a dynamic hub where ideas converge and industries flourish. Designed by the acclaimed Hamburg architecture firm Gerkan, Marg and Partner, the HanseMesse features an impressive exhibition hall, a vast outdoor exhibition area, and a sophisticated rotunda with six halls and 470 seats. It was built specifically to address the need of a modern and versatile exhibition space for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Step inside, and you’ll be surrounded by a vibrant and dynamic energy. The air is filled with the buzz of conversation, the hum of machinery, and the scent of new possibilities. Over 2,500 trade fairs have taken place here, attracting millions of visitors and tens of thousands of exhibitors. The HanseMesse hosts everything from trade shows to cultural events, and it reflects the spirit of the Hansa, a medieval trading league that once made Rostock a thriving port city. Today, Rostock’s spirit of trade perseveres. The HanseMesse is a testament to Rostock’s commitment to connecting people and ideas, both regionally and internationally. It’s a place where the past meets the present, and the future unfolds.
