Bauma (trade fair)

The trade fair, which can be visited by anyone, is held every three years on the grounds of the Neue Messe München and lasts for seven days.

[1] The first exhibition took place in 1954 as part of the “Baumusterschau” at Theresienhöhe in Munich and was then known as the spring show for construction machinery.

Due to the building boom the exhibition space quickly became too small and the fair was relocated for the first time.

In 1962, bauma opened its doors on a former airport site in Oberwiesenfeld, offering 100,000 m2 more space for—in the meantime—more than 450 exhibitors.
