Halls
The halls of Messe Friedrichshafen were built with the most modern standards in mind. They are architecturally unique, bright, and exclusive. Their wooden roofs and large glass surfaces create a unique feel-good atmosphere.
A well-thought-out infrastructure provides the necessary technical equipment. Floor ducts run every 7.5 meters, offering connections for electricity, water, compressed air, or telecommunications.
Outdoor areas
Messe Friedrichshafen has three outdoor areas that can be used in very different ways.
The large outdoor area West is mainly used as a classic exhibition space or party zone, while the outdoor area East is dominated by special uses such as sports events or product presentations. Due to its central location, all outdoor spaces can also be used in conjunction with the exhibition halls or foyers.
The outdoor area North – also known as the Static Display – is a perfect action and demonstration area. This area is especially perfect for automotive events A track with a large viewing area allows uses that no other trade fair site offers.
