The Frankfurt Book Fair is facing up to its environmental responsibilities.

The history of the Frankfurt Book Fair dates back to the 15th century, when Johannes Gutenberg first invented movable type, only a few kilometres down the road from Frankfurt.
Frankfurt remained the central and undisputed European book fair city through to the 17th century.

In 1949, that early Frankfurt book fair tradition was given a new lease of life as 205 German exhibitors assembled from September 18 to 23 in Frankfurt's Paulskirche for the first post-War book fair.
