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 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. This year’s concept is especially surprising: It teases visitors with a suggested entrance to an underground station. It invites visitors to take an imaginary journey from Hall 5 in Leipzig directly to Weimar.
