All blocks have full cladding and blend harmoniously into the hall's appearance.

"Messesee" – the Lake at the Leipzig Exhibition Centre

From Green Oasis to Outdoor Exhibition

The grounds surrounding the Leipziger Messe buildings are dominated by a lot of greenery. With some 5,600 trees, 23,000 shrubs, large lawns and water areas, the trade fair and park landscape blend into a single entity. For example, the Pocket Park located between the Glass Hall and the East Entrance Hall is a quiet spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the trade fair. The jewel in the Pocket Park's crown is the glass pavilion "Messe Leipzig Structure" by Dan Graham – a masterpiece of modern art from the "Art at the Leipzig Trade Fair" project.

Between the parking areas in the adjoining Messepark to the east is a "geopark" with boulders deposited during the Ice Age – the largest of which weigh up to 6.2 tonnes. They were uncovered during the earthworks for the construction of the Exhibition Centre. They are estimated to be between 1.7 billion and 270 million years old.

On the western side, the 8,500 m2 Exhibition Centre Lake, also known as the Mercury Fountain, extends from the forecourt where the trams turn to the West Entrance in front of the Glass Hall. This wide expanse of water is reminiscent of the water basin in front of the Monument to the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig. There is a small island in the middle of the lake on which a tree floats, a fountain bubbles and the "Mosesweg" (Moses' Path) permits visitors to cross over without getting their feet wet.

"Art at Leipzig Exhibition Centre" Project

Well-known artists from all over the world have helped to shape the new Leipzig Exhibition Centre. They were invited to choose suitable places for their work on the site during the construction phase. The Art at Leipzig Exhibition Centre project was curated by Brigitte Oetker, Christiane Schneider and Mechthild von Dannenberg. The 16 artworks created are all open to the public.

Communication Infrastructure

Internet Access

The Exhibition Centre features a modern information and telecommunication infrastructure with extensive facilities. Wired internet connections with high bandwidth and availability are available at all venues. The Leipziger Messe alternatively provides comprehensive internet access through Wi-Fi.
