Stuttgart Rare Book Fair

Germany’s leading annual rare book fair brings local and international booksellers together each year. Established in 1962, the fair is one of the oldest of its kind in Europe and reflects Germany’s long history and tradition in printing, publishing and bookselling.

First editions and bibliophile editions, fine press, manuscripts, graphic art, photographs, maps, manuscripts and autographs - the fair offers the entire spectrum of the rare book and graphic art trade. Every January, collectors, libraries and art enthusiasts from all over Germany and Europe travel to the fair, which has been the annual kick-off in the international rare book calender for decades.

The 2026 fair will take place in a new location:
Culture and Congress Center Liederhalle
(directly next to the Maritim Hotel)
Berliner Platz 1 - 3
70174 Stuttgart
