“When is the Technorama Kassel in 2027, and what is there to find at the classic car fair?”
Where the season starts.
Technorama Kassel runs on 3 and 4 April 2027 at Messe Kassel — autojumble, car sales and club displays to open the classic season.
The short answer
- Technorama Kassel 2027 takes place on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 April 2027 at Messe Kassel, Damaschkestraße 55.
- The core is the parts market: spares, restoration materials, special tools and literature, plus a large collector-car sales exhibition and a motorcycle special show.
- Admission prices and binding opening hours for 2027 had not been published by the organiser as of November 2026.
For a lot of people in northern Hesse, Technorama Kassel is the date the classic car year begins: a weekend in early spring at Messe Kassel, before the outdoor meets start. It is not a glamour show with stage acts but a parts and vehicle fair — which is exactly why it earns the trip if you have a project on axle stands.
What the Technorama is
The organiser runs it as a classic car fair on three pillars: an autojumble, a large collector-car sales exhibition and a motorcycle special show. Club presentations fill the hall floor alongside them, showing their members' cars.
The trade fair platform messen.de gives around 400 exhibitors, some 15,000 visitors and 30,000 square metres of exhibition space, noting that such figures come from the last edition or are averages. On the number of halls the same page contradicts itself — nine halls plus the outdoor area in the text, eleven in the statistics. What is reliable: this is a big halls-and-open-ground event, not an afternoon out.
The fair was founded in 1985. The organiser gives no edition count, and we will not calculate one — missed years cannot be ruled out from the outside.
Dates and opening hours in 2027
| Day | Date | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 3 April 2027 | 09:00 to 18:00 |
| Sunday | 4 April 2027 | 09:00 to 16:00 |
The date of 3 and 4 April 2027 appears identically on two independent trade fair portals. The times come from a fair directory; the organiser itself writes that opening hours and ticket prices will be published later. If you are driving a long way, check the hours shortly beforehand.
The date moves between March and April
This is where memory will let you down. The fair does not sit on a fixed weekend.
| Year | Date |
|---|---|
| 2024 | 23–24 March |
| 2025 | 5–6 April |
| 2026 | 21–22 March |
| 2027 | 3–4 April |
Between 2026 and 2027 the Technorama shifts almost two weeks later. It is always a Saturday–Sunday pair in spring, but never the same one.
What is on the floor
The product groups the organiser lists read like a workshop order: spare parts, restoration materials and services, special tools, classic car literature and trade journals, wheel rims, plus model cars and collectables such as posters and books. Also announced are commercial vehicles, tractors and rare technical objects — so Kassel runs wider than pure passenger-car classics.
The heart of it is not the polished concours line-up but the parts market — the fair is built for people looking for something specific.
Club presentations
The organiser describes the club areas as a particular highlight: classic and youngtimer clubs exhibit their vehicles. For anyone starting out with a model and unsure who to ask, that is the most useful part of the weekend — club people are glad to talk about exactly the car you own.
What admission costs
There is no honest answer to that right now. The organiser has explicitly not yet published 2027 ticket prices, and we are not filling in figures from previous years or from neighbouring fairs. Prices, advance sales and any two-day tickets will be on the organiser's page once they are set.
Whether private sellers can enter a vehicle into the sales exhibition, and what that costs, also did not emerge from the publicly readable sources. If you want to offer your car there, ask the organiser directly.
Getting there and staying over
The address is Messe Kassel, Damaschkestraße 55, 34121 Kassel. The grounds sit conveniently for the A7 motorway and, according to the fair directory, are reachable by train and public transport too; no specific lines or parking fees appear in any readable source.
Kassel is a city with enough beds, and a spring trade fair weekend is not the squeeze a race weekend in the Eifel is. For a day trip from the Ruhr, from Hannover or from Thuringia, the location in the middle of Germany is the real advantage.
What to bring: a tape measure and photos of your car or of the part you are hunting, a bag with a firm bottom, and cash. At autojumbles a card reader is the exception, not the rule.
The sister fairs in Ulm and Hildesheim
The same organiser — Technorama Jens Güttinger e.K. of Ulm — puts on two further Technorama fairs. For 2027 the fair directory lists Ulm on 1 and 2 May and Hildesheim on 22 and 23 May. If Kassel does not turn up what you need, that gives you two more attempts in the same spring with one promoter working to the same formula.
Where the Technorama sits in the year
In the fair calendar Kassel sits between the two big ones: the Bremen Classic Motorshow opens the year in February, the Essen Motor Show closes it in late November. The Technorama lands in April exactly where the parts are needed — just before the season starts. After that the outdoor programme begins; in the circuit's anniversary year the 2027 Nürburgring calendar is the obvious next entry in the event calendar.
