Stuttgart – January 2026

The Stuttgart Antiquarian Book Fair is the oldest and most important antiquarian book fair in Germany.

Since its founding in 1962, it has become a central platform for the international trade in rare and precious books, manuscripts and prints.

Together with the London International Antiquarian Book Fair, it is considered the second-oldest antiquarian book fair in Europe and remains today one of the essential gatherings for bibliophiles, collectors, and representatives of museums and libraries from around the world. Each year, the fair brings together in Stuttgart more than 70 renowned antiquarian booksellers from Germany and abroad, who present their exceptional works there.
