Faszination Modellbau Friedrichshafen

The "Faszination Modellbau" in Friedrichshafen is an international fair passionately dedicated to model building in all its aspects. Since its inception in 2002 by Messe Sinsheim GmbH, it has evolved into an annual highlight for model-building enthusiasts from all over Europe. Traditionally, the event mostly takes place in November, with Messe Friedrichshafen, located in a region of high economic dynamism and in immediate proximity to Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, and the Benelux countries, serving as the venue.

The fair covers an impressive range of model building themes. These include model railways, steam models, aircraft models, car models, ship models, truck and military models, as well as plastic and cardboard model building. This diversity underscores the comprehensive nature of the event and emphasizes that it caters to both young and older model-building enthusiasts.

A key aspect of "Faszination Modellbau" is the high standard of quality reflected in both the works on display and the commitment and quality focus of the exhibitors. The fair not only attracts local enthusiasts but also serves as a platform for exhibitors to tap into new customer segments and penetrate new markets, supported by an experience-oriented fair concept.

In addition to the exhibitions, it is the interactive experiences that distinguish this fair. Numerous show demonstrations, special displays, and hands-on activities fascinate the visitors. A particular highlight is the model railway cinema, as well as the exciting races involving radio-controlled models in the outdoor area. The adjacent air show offers spectacular models and breathtaking flight demonstrations, underscoring the enormous experiential nature of the fair.

"Faszination Modellbau" is thus more than an exhibition; it is a dynamic event that transcends the boundaries of traditional fairs. Its unique selling point lies in the combination of an extensive range of model building, the opportunity for exhibitors to reach supra-regional markets, and a strong focus on interactive visitor experiences. All of this takes place in the inspiring surroundings of Messe Friedrichshafen, which, with its modern facilities and welcoming atmosphere, provides the perfect home for an event of this scale and quality.

The Faszination Modellbau will take place on 3 days from Friday, 31. October to Sunday, 02. November 2025 in Friedrichshafen.
