History The Frankurt Book Fair has a tradition that spreads over more than 500 years. Soon after Johannes Gutenberg had invented printing in movable letters in the town of Mainz (only a short distance away from Frankfurt), the first book fair was held by local booksellers. Until the end of the 17th century, it was the most important book fair in Europe. Due to political and cultural reasons, it was replaced by the Leipzig Book Fair in the time of the enlightenment. After World War II, the first book fair was held again in 1949 at the St. Paul's Church. Since then, it has regained its pre-eminent position. Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg (c. ...

"Enter Korea" (slogan): Guest of Honour appearance 2005 In the Book Fair's exhibition "Books on Korea", publishing companies from all over the world showed translations of titles by Korean authors as well as current books about Korea. In conjunction with Korea's appearance as the guest country at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the Korean embassy had declared 2005 "Korea Year" in Germany. Around 60 Korean authors made a "LiteraTour" of Germany, with its last stop scheduled for the Book Fair. The tour featured a number of cultural events including traditional printing, dance, and (photo-) exhibitions. (Some of these guest-country-events use to start long before and continue in the more local museums long after the fair. A symposium on the division of Korea into north and south was a comparison with the German - very, very different situation of reunion. Maybe the conclusion rather was: to compare does even "hinder". Korea (Korean: í•œêµ or ì¡°ì„ , see below) is a geographic area, civilization, and former state situated on the Korean Peninsula in East Asia. ...

The National Book Trust India had sponsored this second guest appearance and translations. Many autors had readings in different Indish languages (there was also an exposition on these).

Peter Weidhaas, for a very long time (former) director of the Frankfurt Bookfair, presented an anecdote on the first beginning of collaboration between the Indish and German bookindustrie in one of the forums on a jubilee of the Book Trust: Germany was still divided and the socialist stand on the Indish Bookfair had large geographical book, "the biggest of the world". The press was covering only that. So the west German government/diplomacy was astonished; their director remembered that he always takes the world's smallest book in his jacket pocket: a millimeter-bible from the Gutenberg-Museum. So putting that out was attractive enough for the press. "The bookfair is show-business", he said at Frankfurt on the occasion of the guests. Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg (circa 1398 - February 3, 1468), a German metal-worker and inventor, achieved fame for his contributions to the technology of printing during about the 1450s, including a type metal alloy and oil-based inks, a mold for casting type accurately, and a new kind...
