Skywalk, Elevated footbridge at Hannover Messe exhibition center, Germany
Skywalk is an elevated footbridge that crosses the Hannover Messe exhibition grounds, connecting multiple pavilions and indoor spaces. The structure allows visitors to move through the entire fairground while staying above ground level.
The footbridge was built in 1998 as part of efforts to improve visitor flow across the fairground. It became a key feature that shaped how guests navigate the exhibition center during major trade shows.
The footbridge represents German engineering expertise through its modern design principles and incorporation of industrial architecture within exhibition spaces.
The footbridge provides accessible routes for people with reduced mobility to move between exhibition areas. It remains open and available to use whenever the fair operates.
From its elevated position, visitors can see the entire fairground layout and watch how major trade events unfold below. This bird's-eye view reveals the scale of events in a way that ground level cannot.
