Opened in 1950 for the autumn fair, the exhibition courtyard was the first completely new exhibition building of the post-war period. The 80-metre-long shopping street inside was redesigned in 2006. In the hall at the Petersstrasse entrance, the illuminated mushroom column made of Jura marble is a reminder of the old passage.
The Messehofpassage is connected to the Königshauspassage via the Mädler Passage.
