The traffic management department is responsible for ensuring smooth traffic flow within and around the exhibition grounds. Working together with numerous representatives and authorities of the City of Frankfurt, this department helps to avoid congestion and to provide easily accessible parking spaces for exhibitors and visitors.
Accessing the exhibition grounds during set-up and dismantling phases
Messe Frankfurt’s new Central Traffic Management system has offered customer vehicles optimised access to the exhibition grounds during the set-up and dismantling phases of events. For this purpose, we ask exhibitors, stand construction companies and freight forwarders to register online in advance.
Once you have a print-out of the registration confirmation, you can go to the specified check-in. Please follow the signs from the motorway exit F-Rebstock (address for your navigation device: Bruno-Poelke-Strasse).
During the set-up and dismantling phase (incl. early set-up and extended dismantling), vehicles may only access the exhibition grounds through the check-in. Here, the check-in staff will see whether a loading zone is available for you. If it is, you will be given an authorisation form specifying the gate through which you can access the exhibition grounds.
Please note: In case of high volume of traffic waiting times are possible at the check-in!
Please note that only vehicles with an authorisation form will be allowed on to the exhibition grounds.
More information is available in the Check-in guide and the FAQs.

Charging stations for electric vehicles
We provide charging stations for electric vehicles. All charging stations have type 2 connectors.
However, as there are only a limited number of charging stations, we would ask you to register in good time by sending an e-mail to emobil@messefrankfurt.com.
Please send us the following information in your mail so that we can handle your request without call back:
- Day(s) of arrival
- Name of the driver
- Mobile phone number of the driver
- License plate of the car
If all our charging stations are booked, you have the option to use charging stations around the exhibition grounds. You can find these easily via the following portals:
- Traffic information platform mainziel.de
- State of Hessen, Strom bewegt
- Charging station map of the Bundesnetzagentur
- Various platforms for charging infrastructure: www.lemnet.org, www.goingelectric.de
