Planning a Trip to Germany — Any Model Exhibitions Worth Visiting?

[Potaka]

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a trip to Germany sometime soon, and I’m really interested in checking out some model exhibitions while I’m there. I’m into military models, railway models, and other scale models, so I was wondering if anyone knows about any good model shows or fairs happening in Germany?

From what I’ve heard, Germany has some big events like INTERMODELLBAU Dortmund, Modellbau Bremen, and Faszination Modellbau Friedrichshafen. Has anyone been to these or other exhibitions? How are they? Are they worth visiting for a model enthusiast?
Any tips on when and where to go, and maybe some advice on what else to check out nearby, would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I think this, in Hamburg, is the absolute must do:

Thanks so much—that looks incredible! I’ve seen a few videos of Miniatur Wunderland before, but I had no idea just how massive and detailed it really is. Definitely adding it to my itinerary now. Have you been there yourself? Any tips for first-time visitors?

Also, do you happen to know of any model exhibitions in Germany where visitors can actually bring and display their own models? I'd love to participate if there's a chance!
