Gesundheitsmesse Hanover

The Health Fair in Hanover is a public event held annually in September, dedicated to the topics of health, prevention, well-being, and quality of life. Over the years, it has become a firmly established part of the region's event calendar, attracting visitors of all ages—from young families to seniors—with its diverse and hands-on range of information and experiences.

The event is organized by Stadt Events GmbH, a Hanover-based company specializing in trade fairs, with a nationwide network. Under a unified concept, the company hosts health fairs in numerous cities including Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, and Leipzig. At the same time, each fair retains a strong local focus. In Hanover, regional providers such as pharmacies, doctors, fitness studios, alternative practitioners, health insurers, and counseling centers take center stage. This gives visitors the opportunity to connect directly with experts from their own community, creating real added value.

The venue is the Freizeitheim Döhren, a centrally located, easily accessible facility in the Döhren district, featuring a barrier-free design. Admission is free, making the event accessible to a particularly wide audience.

The fair covers a broad spectrum of health-related topics, centered on the idea that good health doesn’t begin with illness but should be actively maintained at every stage of life. Offerings include everything from medical check-ups, therapies, and nutrition to exercise, fitness, and sports, as well as care services, self-help, naturopathy, and wellness. A key focus is on prevention—through advice on screenings, vaccinations, or health-promoting courses such as back training and stress management.

A standout feature of the fair is the combination of expert-led lectures and interactive activities. Visitors can try out modern fitness equipment, experience live demonstrations of relaxation techniques, or engage directly with therapists and alternative health practitioners. Those with specific needs—such as food intolerances, chronic illnesses, or care requirements—will also find tailored information, products, and counseling.

The Health Fair in Hanover thus offers a unique platform that combines medical expertise with personal consultation and a tangible culture of health. It is aimed at everyone who wants to live health consciously—whether preventively, therapeutically, or by embracing a more active lifestyle overall.

The Gesundheitsmesse will take place on Sunday, 20. September 2026 in Hanover.
