Event overview
hausplus Ravensburg returns to the Oberschwabenhalle on 30–31 January 2027, bringing the region's builders, renovators and homeowners together under one roof. Around 120 exhibitors fill 3,500 sqm with prefabricated and solid-built homes, insulation, heat pumps, photovoltaics, windows, doors, interiors and financing advice.
The two-day public fair is built for face-to-face consultation: visitors can compare materials, question regional craftsmen and join free expert talks included in the ticket. Whether the project is a new build, an energy upgrade or a single-room renovation, the show compresses supplier search into a focused weekend in Ravensburg.
TL;DR
Use hausplus to turn a vague building or renovation plan into a shortlist. Compare materials and systems in person, question regional craftsmen who know local rules and costs, collect finance and subsidy advice, and attend free talks on heat pumps, photovoltaics and energy-efficient construction.
The show delivers a concentrated regional audience of homeowners, builders and renovators who arrive ready to discuss real projects. A stand puts your business beside the region's leading craftsmen and suppliers, with a lecture slot available to demonstrate expertise and a free-parking venue that makes it easy for customers to visit.

Edition recap
hausplus 2026 ran from 30 January to 1 February in the Oberschwabenhalle. The organiser reported a fully booked hall, foyer and gallery, 111 exhibiting businesses and around 3,200 visitors.
Impact
A two-day regional fair concentrates thousands of owner-occupiers with live building and renovation projects into one hall. For a supplier, the value is not national reach but dense local intent: visitors arrive from Ravensburg and the surrounding Bodensee-Oberschwaben districts with plots, budgets and craftsmen already in mind.
Audience quality
The audience is predominantly private homeowners and renovators, with architects, planners and local trade professionals mixed in. Because the show is free for under-18s and family tickets are offered, expect weekend couples and families rather than a pure trade-only crowd; the strongest conversations happen with visitors who bring plans, photos or a measured project.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on converting a small number of high-intent projects rather than collecting a large contact list. A regional craft business can usually justify the stand from two or three signed jobs, while a national product brand should use the show to recruit local installers and specifiers. No audited rebooking or return figures are published.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Ravensburg sits at the centre of Bodensee-Oberschwaben, where high construction costs and climate targets are pushing homeowners toward energy-efficient renovation. A compact regional fair lowers the search cost for local craftsmen, heat-pump and solar suppliers and finance advisers, while giving exhibitors qualified leads from owners who already have a project and a budget.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Heat pumps and solar move from niche to default
Homeowners in southern Germany are combining air-source heat pumps with rooftop photovoltaics and battery storage to cut both heating and electricity bills. Exhibitors increasingly present the two systems as one integrated package rather than separate purchases.
What it changes: Visitors can compare complete energy systems and ask installers how sizing, roof orientation and subsidy rules interact.
Renovation overtakes pure new build
High land and construction costs are pushing more households to renovate rather than move. Insulation, window replacement, damp control and step-free bathrooms are steady demand drivers at regional building fairs.
What it changes: Craft businesses can win work from owners who need a staged, budget-aware renovation plan rather than a single large contract.
Subsidy advice becomes a reason to attend
Changes to Germany’s building energy rules and KfW funding programmes make finance and eligibility advice a core part of the visitor journey. Banks, energy agencies and independent advisers now sit alongside product exhibitors.
What it changes: A show visit can shortlist both the technical measure and the funding route in one afternoon, which is difficult to do online.
The Ravensburg weekend anchors a compact winter circuit of owner-focused building fairs across southern Germany. Buyers with a live project can compare the Ravensburg show with the Biberach and Fulda editions without travelling to a national construction trade fair.

Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
| Type | Who needs it | Fee | Processing | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Schengen short-stay business visa | Visitors who are not nationals of an EU/EEA state or a visa-waiver country | $90.00 | about 15 calendar days |

Official visa pageWeather
Late January is deep winter in Upper Swabia: expect roughly -3°C to 4°C, with frost, fog and occasional snow. Allow extra time for road travel and wear warm, waterproof shoes for the walk from parking.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Ravensburg is on the Ulm–Friedrichshafen rail line and the B30 road. The hall has free on-site parking; trains from Stuttgart or Zurich require a change at Ulm or Friedrichshafen.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Sunday is quiet
Most shops close on Sunday, so buy supplies on Saturday. The show itself opens on Sunday and the old town cafés usually serve through the afternoon.
Cash still helps
Small bakeries and market stalls may prefer cash, although most hotels and restaurants accept cards. The Swabian kitchen is hearty; reserve a table for Saturday dinner.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
