Municipal department store (Neumarkt)

  • Pedestrian zone
  • Retail
The historic Messepalast is regarded worldwide as the first example of the newly designed trade fair buildings at the end of the 19th century.
The municipal department store was built between 1893 and 1901 as part of the transition from a trade fair for goods to a sample fair. Incorporating the former city library with its baroque façade, a magnificent trade fair palace was created in which the glassware industry once exhibited its products on 4,500 square meters.

The historic façade and idyllic inner courtyard offer a fantastic setting and invite you to eat and stroll around.
