The Leipzig Clay Building Trade Fair (Fachmesse Lehmbau), established in 2004, takes place biennially in November. It provides a unique platform for professionals to learn about and discuss sustainable construction using clay. Organized by the Clay Industry Association in close collaboration with Leipzig Trade Fair Ltd, it is part of the Leipzig 'denkmal' fair, which focuses on monument conservation and restoration.
The event is held in the impressive halls of Messe Leipzig, known for their modern infrastructure and accessibility. It attracts visitors and exhibitors from around the world, who discuss the latest developments and technologies in clay construction in the dynamic atmosphere of Leipzig.
The fair offers a wide range of content: traditional clay building techniques are demonstrated in 'living workshops' by experts, allowing participants to learn directly from the specialists. Manufacturers showcase various clay building materials and their applications. Another focus is on education and training in clay construction, with specialized programs for apprentices and professionals. Additionally, there are lectures and discussions about the use of clay in international conservation projects, making the fair an important meeting point for conservators. Topics such as seismic safety of clay buildings and contributions to UNESCO World Heritage also regularly feature on the agenda.
The combination of theoretical insights and practical demonstrations enables participants to both deepen their knowledge and develop practical skills. The international orientation and high specialization make the Leipzig Clay Building Trade Fair an indispensable event for those involved in sustainable construction and heritage conservation.
This trade fair serves not only as an event but also as a central source of information and inspiration for forward-thinking construction and restoration projects. It is the place where innovations are introduced, best practices are shared, and future trends in clay construction are set.
The Clay Building Trade Fair will take place on 3 days from Thursday, 05. November to Saturday, 07. November 2026 in Leipzig.
