The safety of our visitors is a top priority for Messe Karlsruhe. Our protection and security measures have been developed in close coordination with the responsible regulatory authorities. They are regularly reviewed and adapted to the dynamic situation.
The federal government has adapted the Infection Protection Act, and new measures to protect vulnerable groups will apply from 1 October 2022 until 7 April 2023. The new federal measures provide for mandatory masking in long-distance transport and in the medical sector.
Depending on the risk of infection, there is a graduated model of measures that the states can adopt individually. However, this does not include a ban on events as in the past two years of the pandemic.
Messe Karlsruhe continues to recommend wearing a protective mask (ideally an FFP2 mask) indoors on the grounds of Messe Karlsruhe.
Status 13.09.2022
There is currently no obligation to wear masks at trade fairs and events. Messe Karlsruhe recommends wearing a medical mask (ideally an FFP2 mask) indoors. In outdoor areas and when using catering services, the mask may be removed.
The hygiene concept of Messe Karlsruhe provides for sufficient disinfection and hand washing facilities at all trade fair events. In order to minimise the risk of infection, the cleaning cycle of heavily frequented areas will also be increased.
To ensure that all participants can maintain the minimum distance of 1.50 m, the aisles between the stands will be enlarged. In addition, the large hall and outdoor areas of Messe Karlsruhe and the modern ventilation systems ensure that the distance rules are observed without any problems and that there is an optimum supply of fresh air.
Transparency, open cooperation and our health are our top priorities. Stay healthy!
Always keep a distance of at least 1.5 m to other people. Messe Karlsruhe supports compliance with the distance regulations by providing appropriate ground markings at relevant points.
A new admission and guidance system enables you to keep always sufficient distance to other people. The aisles (≥ 3 metres) between the stands will be adapted to the number of people expected at the same time with regard to keeping distances.
This will allow participants to move freely in the aisles and at the same time observe the distance rules.
We recommend wearing a medical mask, ideally an FFP2 mask, while on the entire grounds of Messe Karlsruhe.
There are also sufficient disinfection stands at the entire exhibition ground.
Keep to the sneezing and coughing etiquette (always in the crook of your arm).
We ask you to refrain from shaking hands. Give a smile instead.
In our restrooms and passenger elevators, the protection and hygiene measures apply as a matter of principle. We ask you to observe in particular the distance requirement of min. 1.50 m. Our staff are instructed to ensure this. Please do not forget to wash your hands!
Only visit the Messe Karlsruhe if you are in good health. If you have symptoms of a respiratory tract infection or an elevated temperature, this unfortunately precludes a visit to the fair.
We have increased the cleaning and disinfection intervals throughout the entire site in accordance with current regulations. All contact surfaces (handrails, door handles, elevators, ATM, etc.) as well as the sanitary areas are cleaned and disinfected at regular intervals.
You will find sufficient disinfection stands on the entire grounds
For trade fair restaurants, catering and tasting at the stand, the rules of the current protection and hygiene regulations apply in accordance with the Corona Ordinance of Baden-Württemberg in force at this time.
For gastronomic offers we ask you, among other things, to observe the currently valid requirements of the „Supplement of Risk Assessment in Accordance with the SARS-CoV2 Occupational Health and Safety Standards Sector: Hospitality“.
Our modern ventilation systems ensure an optimal supply of fresh air.
Tickets are sold online and at the box offices on site. Online tickets are mobile and allow contactless access.
Floor markings in all relevant areas help you to comply with the rules on distances. All our counters and counters are equipped with Plexiglas panels to protect you and our staff.
