Consumer Fair with Heilbronn Tradition
The HNH — Heilbronn Autumn Fair is the largest consumer and experience fair in the Heilbronn-Franken region in southern Baden-Württemberg. It is held on the Theresienwiese Heilbronn at Theresienstraße 44 — the same grounds that host the Heilbronn Volksfest in the summer. The organizer is RW Messen & Events GmbH, which sets up the fair in several halls and tents covering 35,000 m².
Five Experience Worlds Under One Roof
The concept of the HNH divides the fair into five major themed worlds to help visitors navigate:
- Home & Future — Building, energy, smart home, e-mobility, photovoltaics, heating technology. Regional craft businesses and supra-regional brand providers with consultation booths are represented here.
- Enjoyment & Lifestyle — culinary experiences, wine from the Heilbronn region, design, regional products, fashion, and jewelry. Tastings on-site.
- Crafts & Region — Craft businesses from the Heilbronn-Franken region showcase live demonstrations — carpentry, blacksmithing, glass, ceramics.
- Family & Tourism — Leisure and holiday destinations, travel agencies, hiking, camping. Advice on travel regions and vacation spots.
- Wellness & Health — Fitness, prevention, health service providers, rehabilitation, massage, naturopathic providers.
Stage Program and Children's Fair
A central stage in the main area offers a daily show program — cooking demonstrations, fashion shows, live music, interviews with regional personalities. Admission is free for children under 15 (accompanied by adults); they will find their own areas with hands-on activities, a children's carousel, and experience workshops. The complete stage and children's program will be published by the organizer starting in August 2026.
Heilbronn — Wine, Industry, Education Campus
Heilbronn, with almost 130,000 inhabitants, is the seventh-largest city in Baden-Württemberg and the administrative seat of the Heilbronn district (AGS 08121, City District 08121). The city is the center of the Heilbronn wine-growing area — Trollinger, Lemberger, and Riesling from the slopes along the Neckar are among the most widely planted varieties. In addition, the density of industry (Audi, Schwarz Group with Lidl and Kaufland) and the growing education campus with the Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, established in 2014, shape the city's image. The autumn fair reflects this mix — industry, wine enjoyment, and the middle class.
Best Arrival and Good On-Site Logistics
The Theresienwiese is located directly west of Heilbronn main station — reachable on foot from the station in 10 minutes. Parking is available on the Theresienwiese itself and in the adjacent parking garages. Dogs on a leash are welcome. Accessible.
