Koelnmesse GmbH

Köln hat „nur“ den Dom. Wirklich? 💡 Unsere Stadt Köln hat noch einiges mehr zu bieten. Zum Beispiel eines der zehn größten Messegelände der Erde. Wir bringen Menschen, Unternehmen und Ideen aus aller Welt zusammen. 🌍 Die vielen Besucherinnen und Besucher unserer Veranstaltungen entdecken nicht nur die Messe, sondern auch Köln. Sie erkunden die Stadt, besuchen ihre Sehenswürdigkeiten sowie Geschäfte, gehen in Restaurants essen und beleben die Straßen und Plätze. 🤗 So bringen Messen Menschen aus aller Welt nach Köln und stärken gleichzeitig die Stadt als Wirtschafts- und Tourismusstandort. 💪 Mit „Köln kann Zukunft“ macht die Initiative Exzellent Köln e.V. die wirtschaftliche Stärke unserer Stadt sichtbar. #koelnmesse #köln #cologne #wirtschaft #economy

An exclusive look inside gamescom’s trade visitor and media day 🎮 Even before gamescom opens its doors to the public in two hours, things have already been in full swing at our trade fair grounds for several days! Yesterday’s trade visitor and media day was all about connecting, discovering new games, making international contacts and, of course, taking in plenty of first impressions. 🤩 For us, it was the perfect opportunity to explore the grounds ourselves and take you along with us. 👀 The past few days – and those still to come – show us what becomes possible when halls, technology and infrastructure are transformed into an entire world of experiences for a few days. Behind it are months of planning, complex logistics and the close coordination of numerous teams and trades. It is the combination of all these elements that makes a gamescom of this scale possible. 💚 What did we capture along the way? See for yourselves! 🎥: Koelnmesse GmbH / Thomas Volkmar #Koelnmesse #gamescom #cologne #event #tradefair

Behind the scenes of gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 🎮 gamescom 2026 kicked off with one of its biggest shows: gamescom Opening Night Live! More than 5,000 fans experienced the sold-out show live in Cologne, while millions more tuned in to the livestream around the world. 🌍 But a spectacular show like this takes an enormous effort behind the scenes. For an entire week, Hall 1 at the Koelnmesse trade fair grounds was transformed into a show venue for thousands of gaming fans. Transforming a trade fair hall into a show venue of this scale is a great example of what our trade fair grounds and our teams make possible. How many people were involved, how many working hours went into the setup and just how many kilometres of cable were laid? Take a look behind the scenes in our video. 👀 A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible! 💚 And a special shout-out to our videographer, who was editing this video late into the night. There’s also something you don’t see in the final cut: how do you actually get a camera up to the hall ceiling for a time-lapse shot? The answer: lots of coordination and even more preparation! With that, it’s game on for gamescom 2026! 🎮 ©: Koelnmesse GmbH / Thomas Volkmar #Koelnmesse #gamescom #ONL2026 #gaming #cologne Heide Wallbott game – Verband der deutschen Games-Branche e.V.
