The IAA (Internationale Automobilausstellung) was held for the last time in Frankfurt last year. The next edition is planned for 2021 and will take place in Munich.
From the very first time, in 1951, the IAA took place in Frankfurt. A tradition, that’s how you can say. After the last edition it appeared that the curtain fell for Frankfurt as the host of the German car fair. An end of an era. According to the VDA (the German automobile industry association), the location and ideas of Frankfurt about the future of the exhibition would not be sufficient. The biennial exhibition went in search of a new location. Hamburg, Berlin and Munich were the candidates.
So in the end it became Munich, the VDA announced in an official statement. Of the three cities, Munich managed to present the most attractive options. The other two cities also came up with very good plans, according to the VDA, but were just a little less convincing. According to the association, Munich particularly meets expectations because of the proposed show locations in the center of the southern German city. September 2021 is the day.
