 Festival Hall |
Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage 1 Westend Frankfurt, HES 60327 Germany +49 69 7575 6404 http://www.festhalle.de |
For many years, Messe Frankfurt's mighty dome was the largest indoor arena in Europe. Iron buttresses span the dome at a height of over 30m, and the partitions are made of glass. The building was opened in 1908 for the 11th German Gymnastics Festival, but has remained incomplete: the proposed warehouse section and conference rooms were never built. Today, the hall is part of the exhibition center (known as 'Halle 2') and can hold up to 12,000 people. It is used as a venue for concerts, opera, ice-skating, tennis tournaments and other big events. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Westendstraße 61 Frankfurt 60325 Germany +49 69 97 5070 http://www.iaa.de |
The International Motor Show (IAA) unveils the motor industry's fastest, slickest, and most expensive new models. With 1,000 exhibitors from 40 countries, the IAA is the largest public trade fair in Germany and one of the largest motor shows in the world. In contrast to the very first motor show in 1943, when just eight models were on display, visitors can now drool over hundreds of choices. Motorbikes, accessories and leather clothing are available and, unlike the cars, can be bought straight away. Review © 2007, Wcities |
