75th Frankfurter Buchmesse

In 2023, the Frankfurter Buchmesse celebrated its 75th anniversary. What began in 1949 as an exhibition with only 205 German publishers in Frankfurt’s St. Paul’s Church has evolved into the world’s largest international book fair over the decades. Today, it attracts authors, publishing professionals, rights and licensing experts, and prominent figures from culture, politics, and business from over 100 countries, uniting them in a global celebration of literature and ideas.

​

Reflecting on its rich and vibrant history, the Frankfurter Buchmesse marked 75 times books, 75 times dialogue, 75 times connection, 75 times Frankfurter Buchmesse. And the story goes on!
