On April 12th and 13th, it’s time once again: Fossilien Boerse 2025 will open its doors during the second weekend of April.

The first Fossilien-Boerse took place more than ten years ago, with its debut on March 18th, 2015. This year marks the 8th edition of the event, as it had to take a pause during the pandemic years. We are also looking forward to the special milestone of the 10th Fossil Show in the future.
Over the years, much has changed. One of the most significant updates is the relocation of the show to its current venue: the Kubino in Ostfildern-Nellingen. Despite some organizational tasks taking a bit longer this year, we are excited to once again present you with a fully booked Fossil Show. A preliminary list of exhibitors of the Fossilien Boerse 2025 is available here

Get ready for a rich selection of fossils, collector accessories, and specialized literature.

This is a short illustrated review of the Fossil show 2023.

The Fossil show known as “Fossilien-Boerse” 2023 took place for the first time at Kubino Ostfildern after the pandemic break. Thanks to the professional hall team of the Kubino and the event technicians of b&b eventtechnik, the preparations for the fair were quickly completed. Thus, there was nothing standing in the way of the early build up for the fossil exhibitors. The construction went smoothly and quickly. On Saturday morning there was a large crowd of visitors. The afternoon was more contemplative. On Sunday, many visitors also took advantage of the opportunity to visit the fair again free of charge with a previous day’s ticket. The Sunday afternoon was also rather sparsely visited this year. This is certainly due to the Pentecost weekend and the wonderful weather. And as the Pentecost holidays are traditionally used for outdoor activity’s that was kind of expected. The feedback from the visitors was extremely positive. The feedback from the exhibitors was also overwhelmingly very positive. Of course, there are also points that we want to improve and optimize next year. After all, it is a new event location with its own special features. The Fossil Fair 2023 was a very successful restart, the traditional fair for fossils.

Here you will find the list of exhibitors of the Fossil Exchange 2023.

And we are already looking forward to the next fossil fair on 13 – 14.04 2024.

It’s time! The Fossilien-Börse will take place on May 27th and 28th, 2023 at Kubino in Ostfildern. Kubino is a modern location with excellent transport links. The Fossilien-Börse is one of the largest fossil fairs in Europe and a meeting place for hobby and professional paleontologists.

This year there are many regular exhibitors as well as new fossil providers. Here you can find the exhibitor directory: https://fossilien-boerse.de/aussteller/

The following institutions are on site for specialist advice and fossil identification: Stuttgart Natural History Museum, Steinkern.de, Paläontologische Gesellschaft and the Stuttgarter Mineralien & Fossilienfreunde.

Information about the status of registrations will be provided here at this point.

Please note this is a offer directly from the Kubino.

First of all, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you, above all, a healthy and successful and a fossil rich year 2022.
We hope that this year more mineral and fossil fairs will be possible again.
It’s about time we all can met again!
Therefore we would de delighted to announce a date for the next exhibition only for fossils.
But at this point we don’t have a date for the Fossil Show 2022.
We are mostly on the same point as last year.

Next Date of the fossil show 2022:

At normal times, preparations for this great fossil event would be in full swing.
Unfortunately we aren’t in normal times, yet.
The prevailing situation of the Pandemic impacts the confidence of planning for virtually any public event. The entire events industry has been in a constant state of emergency since the beginning of the pandemic.
To our regret, we are currently unable to reliably set a date for the 2022 fossil show.

In addition, there is no venue for the Fossil Show 2022.

Since 1995, the Filderhalle in Leinfelden-Echterdingen has been the venue for the show only for fossils. At that time it was known as “Petrefekta”, A show for fossils only, that was unique in Europe.
Since 2015, fossil collectors as well as hobby and professional palaeontologists have met at the “Fossilien Börse” in the Filderhalle as well.

The Filderhalle had to noticeably adjust there conditions during Pandamic situation and due there restructuring of the location as well.
These conditions would have resulted in a multiplication of all our prices.
From our point of view, this cost structure would not be compatible with the character and charm of the Fossil show as a culture and collector’s exchange fair.

At this point we would like to warmly thank the Filderhalle and the city of Leinfelden-Echterdingen for more than a quarter of a century of good cooperation. We enjoyed the time that we worked together to make the Fossilien Boerse what it is today.

The future of the Fossilien Boerse event:

We hope to be able to and to be allowed to organize a fossil sales show in during this year.
At the moment, an appointment later in the year seems to promise the most success with regard to hygiene concepts, infection protection requirements and the permissible number of participants.
Fossils as witnesses of evolution show us that change also goes hand in hand with improvement, so we are currently planning how the new fossil show “Fossilien Börse” will look like.

We will keep you informed about the development at this point.

Will there still be a fossil show event in 2021?

We certainly hope that this year we will be able to organize a show for fossils again.

The fossil show was planned for April 10th & 11th, 2021.

This date has been in the preliminary planning for a year.

Despite the opening debate, the current development of the pandemic leaves far less room than hoped.

From the current perspective, a complete opening of the lockdown for the Easter holidays is rather unlikely.

No planning security and many unanswered questions for our Fossil Show 2021.

This has been the new normal in the cultural and event sector for over a year.

It is still completely unclear which requirements will come when trade fairs are possible again. There will certainly be a mask requirement.

• There will certainly be a mask requirement.
• Will negative corona tests be mandatory for the participants in the Fossil Show event ? *
• How will data processing according to the Corona Regulation be regulated this year?
• How many participants are admitted per square meter?
• How will are quartile regulation and travel restrictions affecting our event ?

* (https://www.bundestag.de/resource/blob/803630/25a0b74afdbcb0d7bcec045e34910d39/WD-7-107-20-pdf-data.pdf)

Already last year we all had to live without the main fossil event of the year.

Show for Fossils 2020 cancelled.

The Fossil show is more than just a fossil fair. We realised this even more by now.

That is why we tried everything in 2020 to make this fossil culture event possible. The rule date 2020 coincided with the time of the first lockdown.

And just in time for the alternative date, the second lockdown followed after the summer months.

As much as we look forward to seeing our collectors, dealers and scientists again: From the current perspective is a Fossil Show 2021 unlikely.

We will still try to make a fossil show possible.

However, this must also be practicable and, above all, safe for everyone involved.

No Show for Fossils “Fossilien Boerse” in 2020:

There will be no Show for Fossils this year at Leinfelden-Echterdingen .
In face of the current developments, this is certainly not unexpected.
The Covid-19 pandemic has recently gained significant momentum again. Even more than it was the case just a few weeks ago.
More and more regions are currently classified as Corona hotspot areas. The Esslingen district and therefore also Leinfelden-Echterdingen have been a corona risk area since a few days.
There is currently a risk of travel restrictions, quarantine obligations and accommodation bans.
Even before the current escalation, the conditions and requirements for holding a fossil show event had to be described as at least challenging.
With the current social distancing rules alone, the exhibitors alone would have made up already about half of the permitted participants of such event. In other words, roughly only one visitor would have been allowed per exhibitor.

Please also note the current Corona regulation of the state of Baden-Württemberg. https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.de/de/service/aktuelle-infos-zu-corona/aktuelle-corona-verordnung-des-landes-baden-wuerttemberg/

We are therefore of the opinion that a Show for Fossils is currently neither organizationally nor economically feasible. It would also be irresponsible in view of the current context. We all have looked forward to meet up again at the Fossilien Boerse 2020 and therefore regret this development. So we should look forward for the show for fossils 2021 known as Fossilien Boerse.

Show date for the “Fossilien Boerse 2021” :

The next fossils show known as “Fossilien Boerse” is planned for April 9-11, 2021.
Together with the Location Filderhalle Leinfelden-Echterdingen we are trying to plan as well and safely as possible. Of course, this planning also focuses on safe distance and hygiene concepts for a fossil Event.
At this point we will inform you about the further development here.

The expected date for the next fossil fair “Fossilien Boerse” is on April 9-11, 2020.

On July 12th, 2020, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., a mineral and fossil collectors’ exchange will take place in the Urzeithof.

The event takes place for the first time this year on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the museum and is free of charge for visitors to the exchange. However, a maximum of 250 people may attend the event at the same time. Despite Corona, this openair mineral and fossil fair in the north almost creates a feeling of St. Marie.

We hope that many more events of this kind will follow.

Fossilien Boerse, the Fossil Show 2020 is not in the summer.

The Fossil Show will not take place on on June 13 + 14, 2020.
At this time we don’t have a new date.
The current development of the Corvid-19 situation does not allow the summer date. This is not surprising, of course.
However at the time of planning that event date for the June, there were fewer than 1,000 cases in Germany. The dynamic of the situation requires flexibility.

We are currently examining further planning for the show and the future of the fossil show.

So please keep visit our website regularity for updates on the Fossil show.
