The Frankfurt Book Fair, known as the Frankfurter Buchmesse, is the world's largest book fair, held annually in October. It occupies approximately 170,000 square meters of exhibition space, bringing together publishers, authors, and industry professionals. Historically, other trade fairs such as the Frankfurt Technology Fair and the Frankfurt Motor Show are also held there. Its importance in Germany is crucial, as it not only boosts the publishing industry but also positions Frankfurt as a global cultural and commercial center.
