Terrarienbörse Hanover

The Hannover Terrarium Fair is the most significant public exhibition for terrarium enthusiasts in northern Germany, held annually in April and November at the Hannover Congress Centrum (HCC). Since its establishment in 1995, it has become the oldest and most renowned terrarium fair in the region, attracting professionals and hobbyists from all over Germany and beyond. The event is organized by Holger Hilgenberg & Andreas Scheithauer GbR, an experienced company specializing in reptile fairs and terrarium-related events.

The Hannover Congress Centrum offers an ideal venue with its central location and excellent transport connections. Its modern exhibition halls and well-developed infrastructure provide the perfect setting for a dynamic exchange of knowledge and trade within the terrarium community.

The fair covers a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from the proper care and husbandry of terrarium animals to technology, accessories, suitable plants, and decorative elements. A particular highlight is the presentation of live animals, including reptiles, amphibians, insects, and spiders. Beyond trade, education plays a key role, especially regarding the responsible handling of exotic animals. Strict legal regulations and controls ensure a reputable and secure platform for buyers and breeders. Notably, venomous snakes and dangerous spider species are strictly prohibited from sale.

One of the fair’s main attractions is a series of expert lectures by renowned specialists, offering insights into the latest trends, husbandry requirements, and developments in terrarium care. Visitors have a unique opportunity to experience rare and exotic animals up close and engage directly with breeders, traders, and fellow enthusiasts. The relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere makes the event a popular meeting point for both seasoned terrarium keepers and those just beginning to explore this fascinating world.

The Hannover Terrarium Fair is more than just a marketplace—it is a central hub for all those passionate about terrarium keeping and eager to connect with like-minded individuals.

The Terrarienbörse will take place on Sunday, 09. November 2025 in Hanover.
