Introduction

In Germany, there are few regional trade fairs with a pedigree as prestigious and long-lasting as the Maimarkt Mannheim (or the May Market Mannheim in German) held in Mannheim, Germany. This event was first held in 1613 by the decree of Count Palatine Johann II of Zweibrücken and the trade fair has consistently been held at the same time for centuries with very few notable cancellations due to wars.

Maimarkt Mannheim is spread over a territory of exhibition halls, demonstration booths and outdoor areas, which allow for a natural flow of traffic. Everything can be purchased here as the product portfolio extends to office communication, motor vehicles, prefabricated houses, cosmetics, craft services, decorative items, bicycles, building materials, appliances and tools, beds, insurance, musical instruments, and paint. That’s only scratching the surface. Visitors have other incentives to visit since there’s a rich supporting program with family activities and attractions.
