Spielwarenmesse to celebrate 75th anniversary at 2026 show

The platinum anniversary will also be celebrated at the Imperial Castle of Nuremberg in conjunction with its general meeting on 24 April.

As Covid halted in-person events for Spielwarenmesse in 2021 and 2022, the celebration of the 75th anniversary has been pushed back to 2026. The big birthday party will take place during the fair, which runs from 27 to 31 January 2026.

Christian Ulrich, board member, Spielwarenmesse, commented: “We’ll be celebrating this special occasion with all the participants – it’s a moment for appreciating what has been achieved and a prompt to carry our success story into the future, together with the entire sector.”

Spielwarenmesse began in 1949 when four entrepreneurs launched the show. After the successful premiere of the German Toy Fair in 1950, the deal to form the cooperative was sealed.

Christian explained: “With this legal structure we remain something of an exotic species in the trade fair world, and one of the most successful cooperatives in Bavaria.”
