GaLaBau 2026: Visitor Increase and New Technology in Nuremberg

<p>GaLaBau 2026 will once again enter the history of the industry with a visitor increase – and will present itself from September 15 to 18 in Nuremberg with modified opening hours designed to provide greater continuity. For exhibitors and professional visitors from the gardening, landscaping and municipal green space maintenance sectors, the trade fair remains one of the most important industry meeting points in Europe.</p>

<h2>New Opening Hours for Greater Planning Security</h2> <p>With the announced change in opening hours, GaLaBau is responding to the wishes of many exhibitors and visitors for a more even distribution of visitors across all trade fair days. More homogeneous visitor frequency not only creates better conditions for exhibitors to conduct expert discussions, but also increases the added value for visitors who want to plan appointments targeted. This structural adjustment underscores the trade fair's aspiration to continue developing as a reliable platform for the green industry – from garden planning to the maintenance of public green spaces.</p> <p>As one of the world's leading specialized trade fairs for the planning, construction and maintenance of urban green and open spaces, GaLaBau covers a broad spectrum of topics: gardens, parks, sports fields, playgrounds and golf courses. Over four days on the Nuremberg exhibition grounds, landscape builders, architects, municipal planners and equipment manufacturers meet to discuss current technologies and trends.</p>

<h2>Wiedenmann Brings New Lawn Care Technology</h2> <p>A highlight of the exhibition program is once again provided by Wiedenmann GmbH, which presents its latest generation of equipment at stand 223 in hall 9. The focus is on the Terra-Core series for aerating golf courses, sports fields and other high-quality turf areas.</p>

<h3>Terra Core M6: Premiere of a Walk-Behind Aerator</h3> <p>As a special novelty, Wiedenmann presents the <strong>Terra Core M6</strong> – the manufacturer's first walk-behind aerator, which was developed in close collaboration with professional greenskeepers. The machine achieves aeration depths of up to 15 centimeters and combines high area performance with the efficiency typical of Wiedenmann. The drive concept is based on the proven gearbox and drive technology of the Köppl Taurus, ensuring robust continuous use in professional environments. Since no carrier vehicle is required, the M6 can be deployed extremely flexibly.</p>

<h3>Terra Core 6 and 8 as well as other new products</h3> <p>The portfolio is complemented by the <strong>Terra Core 8</strong>, which was specifically developed for processing the upper ten centimeters of the turf profile. With working depths between 40 and 100 millimeters, it enables intensive aeration of the root zone and supports long-term improvement of soil structure. Together with the smaller <strong>Terra Core 6</strong>, the series covers a broad spectrum of professional lawn care requirements. The presentation is rounded off by the new large-area mower <strong>RMR 235</strong> and the scarifier <strong>Terra V-Cut</strong> with star blades – two further product launches that underline the broad scope of applications from municipal green space maintenance to top-level golf and sports field construction.</p>

<h2>Themed Play Equipment and Urban Green in Focus</h2> <p>In addition to lawn and maintenance technology, GaLaBau 2026 also focuses on themed play equipment and solutions for designing urban open spaces. The trade fair sees itself as a platform for the entire spectrum of green infrastructure – from playgrounds to parks to sustainable materials for landscaping and garden construction. The exhibition program is supplemented by specialist forums, expert lectures and live demonstrations in which machines and equipment are shown in action. This practice-oriented approach has been the hallmark of GaLaBau for years and makes the trade fair a firm fixture for municipal planners, landscape architects and equipment manufacturers alike.</p>

<h2>Conclusion and Outlook</h2> <p>With the adjusted opening hours, another visitor increase and several product premieres from renowned manufacturers such as Wiedenmann, GaLaBau 2026 demonstrates that it is further consolidating its position as Europe's leading trade fair for green and open space design. The combination of technical innovation in lawn care and a broad range of topics around play equipment, urban green spaces and sustainable outdoor design makes the event from September 15 to 18 in Nuremberg a central mandatory event for the entire industry. Anyone wishing to be informed early about the latest developments will once again find a comprehensive overview of machines, materials and future trends in landscape and garden construction at the Nuremberg exhibition grounds.</p>
