She stopped by the stand because it »really stood out from the others«, says a Leipzig Book Fair visitor of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar’s stand. And because she finds the hustle and bustle of the publishing stands in the exhibition halls to be too much, she particularly enjoys coming here and being able to browse through such great and unusual books. She is especially interested in typography, which drew her to a book printed in red on white and deals with signets, pictograms and lettering by a VK student.

The exhibits will be on display from 31 March to 4 April 2025 at the joint »Forschung für die Zukunft« stand, which brings together pioneering research projects from the states of Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt.

The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is continuing its long-standing tradition of participating at the Leipzig Book Fair with its own stand from 27 to 30 March 2025.

It invites visitors to take an imaginary journey from Hall 5 in Leipzig directly to Weimar.

The e-bike will help technology to be transported between venues more easily and sustainably.
