Event overview
Baumesse Göttingen 2027 brings construction, renovation and energy-saving advice to the LOKHALLE in Göttingen from 19 to 21 February 2027.
The three-day public fair fills Halls 1–3 with regional builders, trades and energy specialists, alongside free expert talks.
Adult tickets cost €5 at the door and under-16s enter free.
TL;DR
Visitors can compare regional builders, heating systems and renovation finance in one hall, question installers face to face and collect quotes without a month of separate appointments. Free talks translate funding rules into practical steps, and the LOKHALLE location beside the ICE station makes a car-free day trip easy.
The fair concentrates motivated owner-occupiers from Göttingen and surrounding districts into three days, many already holding a renovation budget. Regional buyers prefer local trades, so a stand generates qualified site-visit leads rather than broad awareness. Entry costs stay low and the organisers supply the stand build and local project support.

Edition recap
Baumesse Göttingen 2026 welcomed around 230 exhibitors and more than 17,000 visitors across three halls of the LOKHALLE. The 2027 edition returns on 19–21 February.
New this edition
Impact
The fair has grown from two halls and around 200 exhibitors in 2025 to three halls and around 230 in 2026, while visitor demand stayed above 17,000. For a regional consumer show, that combination signals genuine local pull rather than a purely trade-driven audience. The 2027 edition is planned on the same three-hall footprint.
Audience quality
Visitors are predominantly owner-occupiers and self-builders from Göttingen and nearby districts who arrive with a specific project and budget. The show is public rather than trade-only, so exhibitors should expect longer consultations and site-visit follow-ups instead of rapid procurement meetings. Families and older residents are a meaningful segment, making accessibility and clear pricing important.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on local lead conversion: a stand here suits businesses that can turn a weekend enquiry into a site visit within two weeks. With around 230 exhibitors competing for more than 17,000 visits, stand staff need a sharp qualifying script and a follow-up owner. The low €5 ticket filters casual footfall only slightly, so lead quality comes from the exhibitor’s questions, not the organiser.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Southern Lower Saxony combines ageing detached housing with strict national energy targets, so local demand for insulation, heat pumps and accessible renovation is steady. The Göttingen fair gives regional firms a low-cost route to homeowners who are actively budgeting, while buyers can compare local installers and funding options in one place.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Heat pumps move from niche to default
German homeowners are replacing oil and gas boilers with air-source heat pumps, often combining them with solar and battery storage. Local installers use consumer fairs to explain grant eligibility, noise and radiator upgrades before a site survey.
What it changes: Heating decisions are the highest-value purchase at the show and drive multi-year service relationships.
Retrofit packages beat single measures
Buyers increasingly want a whole-house plan linking insulation, windows, ventilation and heating rather than one-off fixes. Exhibitors that coordinate trades and sequence work are winning larger projects.
What it changes: Bundled renovation raises average project value and rewards exhibitors able to project-manage.
Accessible and age-ready homes
An ageing population is pushing demand for step-free entrances, walk-in showers and ground-floor bedrooms. Regional builders are packaging accessibility upgrades alongside energy work to reduce disruption.
What it changes: Accessibility broadens the buyer pool beyond new-build families and supports higher-margin fit-out work.

OfficialPartnerGet to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: From Hannover Airport take the S-Bahn to Hannover Hbf, then an ICE to Göttingen (about 1 h 45 min total); from Frankfurt Airport take a direct ICE (about 2 h 20 min). The LOKHALLE is behind Göttingen Hauptbahnhof.
Hotel → venue: Most central hotels are a 10–25 minute walk or a short bus or taxi ride from Bahnhofsallee.
Ride-hail: Taxis wait at the station and in the centre; ride-hailing coverage is thinner than in Berlin or Munich, so use the taxi rank at peak times.
Public transit: Göttingen has an extensive city bus network but no tram or U-Bahn. A single ticket costs about €2.90; validate it before boarding.
Parking: Parking near the LOKHALLE is limited and shared with station users. Use the station car park and walk, or arrive by train.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: February
Temperature: 3–7°C daytime; around 0°C or slightly below at night
Seasonality: Mixed rain and snow are possible; February is not the wettest month but conditions change quickly.
Packing: Bring a warm waterproof coat, layers and comfortable shoes for the walk from the station; the hall is heated.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Friday 19 February 2027
Friday is the quietest of the three days, so exhibitors have more time for detailed questions and site-visit bookings. Saturday draws the largest family crowds, while Sunday is shorter on decision-makers and better for a second pass.
Confirm dates, ticket price and hall layout on the official page — Check the 10:00–18:00 hours and the bag-size rule before booking travel.
Book train or flight and a refundable hotel — Göttingen is on the ICE network; stay within walking distance of the station.
Write a one-page project brief with budget and must-ask questions — Share it with exhibitors so stand staff can quote accurately.
Shortlist 8–12 exhibitors and map them to halls — Use the exhibitor search on the official site; leave time for free talks.
Pack light and print tickets or payment card — Bags larger than A4 are refused; bring a notebook and business cards.
