NürnbergMesse Exhibition Centre Sets Up Emergency Shelter for Ukraine Refugees

3/23/2022
NürnbergMesse is making Hall 3C at its Exhibition Centre available as an emergency shelter for war refugees from Ukraine. Staff from the company’s Security & Logistics department are joining forces with the city’s fire brigade to equip the 9,600-square-metre exhibition hall as a temporary shelter for up to 600 refugees.

The hall has been subdivided into a day room area and a sleeping area. Camp beds have been put in place, shower and rest room trailers have been hooked up, and a continuous power supply has been installed. A separate play area for children is also included.

The city’s Social Welfare Office is in charge of the accommodations. Mayor Marcus König visited the site today to get an idea of how preparations are advancing: “Our warmest thanks to NürnbergMesse, which has worked with the city’s fire brigade to set up the urgently needed emergency shelter for war refugees here at the Exhibition Centre in such a short time. That means we’re well prepared and can offer adequate space, protection and safety here for the people from Ukraine.”

The modern Hall 3C in the southwest area of the site has already served as a vaccination centre during the coronavirus pandemic.

“By temporarily providing Hall 3C, we are doing our part to offer humanitarian emergency aid, even as trade fair operations have resumed,” said NürnbergMesse Group CEO Dr Roland Fleck.

“We want very much to do all we can to mitigate suffering, and thus to emphasise our solidarity with Ukraine and its people,” added NürnbergMesse Group CEO Peter Ottmann.
