The organising committee of the Stuttgart Antiquarian Book Fair 2026 has taken this traditional event into the future with fresh energy and new ideas. Under the motto Redefine. Recreate. Relaunch., the fair has been revamped in terms of content, visuals and organisation – with a clear focus on contemporary presentation, international networking and an inspiring fair experience for exhibitors and visitors alike.
We develop and coordinate the fair planning, assist exhibitors with all organisational matters, develop modern communication and marketing strategies, and ensure smooth execution on site at the Liederhalle Stuttgart. Our goal is always to combine tradition and the present – to showcase the fascination of printed cultural heritage as well as new developments in the international antiquarian book trade.
Norbert Munsch, head of the office of the Association of German Antiquarian Booksellers (Verband Deutscher Antiquare e.V.), has supported the new trade fair team in the relaunch of the Antiquarian Book Fair 2026 with his wealth of experience and personal commitment. He acts as an important link between the trade fair team and the board, ensuring a continuous flow of information and helping to quickly translate agreements with the board into practical trade fair work.

The board of the Association of German Antiquarian Booksellers (Verband Deutscher Antiquare e.V.) entrusted the Stuttgart Antiquarian Book Fair team with a high degree of autonomy in the successful relaunch of the project. It created reliable framework conditions, thereby enabling the comprehensive reorganisation of this long-established fair. It supported the opening up to new forms of presentation, a stronger international orientation and a contemporary trade fair experience for exhibitors and visitors alike.
