The history of Bauma Munich
Bauma, the world’s largest construction machinery trade fair, started in 1954 at Munich’s Theresienhöhe with 58 exhibitors, 8,000 trade visitors and 12,000 square meters of outdoor space. Today, the new Messe München has 614,000 square meters of exhibition space for Bauma, which is internationally regarded as the leading industry trade fair for construction and building material machinery, construction vehicles and construction equipment. Bauma has broken numerous records over the years. It first attracted international exhibitors in 1958 and saw a boom in the construction industry in 1963.
After temporary moves, Bauma returned to Theresienhöhe in 1967 and was taken over by Messe München in 1969. The event changed to a three-year rhythm and was held for the first time in 1998 on the grounds of the new Munich Trade Fair Centre. Despite the challenges in 2022, including the Corona epidemic and travel restrictions, Bauma achieved solid results with over 3,100 exhibitors.
