Professional and at the heart of it all. For over 70 years.
With today’s ILM (International Leather Goods Fair), everything began in 1949/50, and it is still an integral part of the trade fair’s events calendar twice a year. Today, Messe Offenbach represents much more: numerous trade fairs and events take place annually on the Messe Offenbach grounds.
Perfect Infrastructure
Thanks to its central location, you can reach Messe Offenbach quickly and easily. Via motorways A3, A5, and A661, the Kaiserlei exit (A661) leads directly to the exhibition grounds.
From Frankfurt Airport, S-Bahn lines S8 and S9 towards Hanau will take you directly to Offenbach in just 28 minutes. From the “Marktplatz” and “Ledermuseum” stops, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to Messe Offenbach. Thanks to its proximity to Frankfurt Central Station, a perfectly integrated rail and local public transport network is also available to you.
Even shorter are the routes to the parking lot at Mainufer and the Messe Offenbach multi-storey car park, which can be reached in a few minutes on foot or by shuttle.

In the Heart of the Rhine-Main Region
The city in the economically strong Rhine-Main region is international and cosmopolitan. Organizers, exhibitors, and visitors particularly appreciate its special, modern, and creative flair. Offenbach has many facets, making the exhibition location a cosmopolitan host for numerous events.
Whether you arrive by car, public transport, or plane: short distances are characteristic of Offenbach as an exhibition location.
Many international hotels are also located within walking distance. Directly on site, the gastronomy in Nordend and the newly designed Hafenviertel, situated directly on the river, beckon. Culturally, the stately Büsingpalais and Isenburg Castle shine as one of Offenbach’s landmarks.
