gesund leben Kassel

The “gesund leben” fair is an annual consumer exhibition held at the Kongress Palais Kassel. Over the years, it has become a leading meeting point for health-conscious visitors from across North Hesse and beyond. Organised by Frankfurter Messe & Event GmbH, the event is aimed at anyone looking to improve their physical and mental wellbeing, adopt a more mindful lifestyle, and access reliable information, expert advice and fresh inspiration.

Once a year, the Kongress Palais Kassel is transformed into a vibrant, interactive showcase dedicated to health, nutrition, exercise, wellness, lifestyle and travel. The emphasis is not simply on providing information, but on active participation. Visitors are encouraged to get involved, reflect and rethink their habits. On site, they can explore the interplay between conventional medicine and complementary therapies, discover practical strategies for stress management and mental wellbeing, and gain hands-on insights into healthy eating, prevention, physical activity and self-care.

From yoga sessions and blood glucose testing to fasting advice and emerging fitness trends, the “gesund leben” fair offers a diverse, practical programme for health-minded people of all ages — from recreational athletes and families to care professionals and older adults. Exhibitors from the fields of medicine, naturopathy, fitness, nutrition, beauty, wellness, tourism and insurance present products, services and holistic solutions for healthier living. The programme is complemented by free health checks, expert talks and one-to-one consultations at the stands.

Through its close links with the health and prevention networks of the city of Kassel and the wider North Hesse region, the fair makes a meaningful contribution to public health promotion and awareness-raising, combining strong regional roots with a reach that extends well beyond the area.

The Kongress Palais Kassel — a historic civic hall distinguished by its striking architecture — provides an outstanding setting. Its central location, excellent public transport connections and spacious, flexible exhibition and event facilities make it ideally suited to a large-scale public exhibition. Stylish interiors, modern conference halls and light-filled foyers create the perfect environment for learning, networking and inspiration.

For anyone who wants to experience health in practice rather than simply read about it, this is the place to be — a fair that doesn’t just inform, but inspires action.

The gesund leben will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 18. April to Sunday, 19. April 2026 in Kassel.
