In 2020 I walked into Spielwarenmesse as a wide-eyed visitor with no brand, just a dream. The fair felt magical and overwhelming, but it sparked a promise to myself: build a company and come back. After two digital years, I returned as an exhibitor with PepPlay, a Made-in-India brand creating eco-conscious, creative learning toys—a proud full-circle moment that keeps me dreaming bigger every year.

I sincerely congratulate on the 75th anniversary of Spielwarenmesse. I was able to create successful business opportunities through this fair, which sets standards and creates trends for toys from all over the world. You will meet the products from not only European toys, but also American and Asian toys. Additionally, you can find not only original toys but kidults and board games. I look forward to see the next 100 years of Spielwarenmesse, where you can meet various T.O.Y.S!

“My best experience: RedNight 2023 with our international TrendCommittee team! At the very first Polish booth, we were welcomed so warmly with regional delicacies that we almost couldn't move on. This spontaneous hospitality and sharing laughs with colleagues from four countries - that's the true spirit of Spielwarenmesse!”

"My very first flight in 1982 to Spielwarenmesse - at 20 years old and quite nervous! A colleague from the industry sat next to me and encouraged me. 40 years later, he still reminds me of that moment. These lifelong connections are only made here in Nuremberg!"

"The incredible warmth everywhere! A colleague always greets me in Cantonese, Spanish exhibitors used translation apps for deep conversations, a lady from Nuremberg specifically looked for someone who could help me. These authentic, warm encounters make every Spielwarenmesse feel like a family celebration!"

“Instantly in love with the Enterprise spaceship at Mattel! Over 2,000 building block pieces - I had to have it! Specially ordered from the USA, just because of this one fair discovery. Today, a collector's treasure in my office and proof that: Here you find treasures that don't exist anywhere else!”

Spielwarenmesse - A Chronicle

Spielwarenmesse emerged from the heart of the industry. Probably no other trade fair worldwide was founded with as much personal commitment and vision as the trade fair in Nuremberg. Shortly after the Second World War, when many companies were fighting for survival, forward-thinking toy manufacturers jointly invested in their own trade fair platform.

1949

... a world-leading trade fair takes off.

1950er

Internationalization: "I don't want to see the word 'German' here next year!" - Ludwig Erhard clears the way for the international world-leading trade fair.

1973

New exhibition grounds Langwasser: Relocation to the new exhibition grounds with 52,000 sqm exhibition space - for the first time room for consistent product group classification and further growth.

1991

For the first time over 2,000 exhibitors, including 938 international companies - the Spielwarenmesse now establishes itself as the undisputed world's leading trade fair in the toy industry.

2020er

After two digital editions and a pandemic-related break, 2023 marked the restart of Spielwarenmesse – innovative, forward-looking, and a strong platform for the international industry.
