Ulm becomes the location of the former Sindelfingen Stamp Fair
The 37th International Stamp Fair in 2019 at the Sindelfingen Exhibition Centre was the last. Two years of the pandemic and the subsequent change of ownership of the Exhibition Hall has forced the organisers to seek another location. The new venue was announced a few days ago: the exhibition hall in Ulm (Messe-Ulm), on the Danube between Stuttgart and Munich. The dates are from 27 to 29 October (as usual Thursday to Saturday).
Klaus Weis, President of the Deutsche Altbriefsammler Verein (DASV), pointed out that the postal history exhibition “Postgeschichte live” will also take place as it used too. He added: The DASV will be even more involved in “Postgeschichte live” in the future than it has been in previous years. We are happy to take over the responsibilities and the implementation of the upcoming extended tasks because it is a matter of renovating our “living room”, so to speak, to sharpen the high standard of the event and, at best, to optimize it.
