The images are of the The Leipzig Samples and Technical Exhibition (Muster- und Technische Messe). According to the Reference Dot Com website, the fair "was one of the most important Trade Fairs of the RGW, and traditionally a meeting place for businessmen and politicians from both sides of the Iron Curtain.. The history of the Leipzig fairs goes back to the Middle Ages. A fair held at Leipzig is first mentioned in 1165.. "In 1507 Emperor Maximilian I made the Leipzig fairs imperial fairs (Reichsmessen) and banned any fairs in a 15 mile area around the town.. In the 18th century, Leipzig became the centre for trade with Poland and English goods. It was called 'the marketplace of all Europe'.In 1895, the old Jubilate-fair was replaced by the modern "Muster-Messe", dominated by factory owners presenting samples of their goods.. "In 1920 the technical fairground was opened in the southeast of the town, between Reudnitz and the Monument for the battle of the Nations. It included 19 pavillons in 1940. Between the wars, the Ring-Messehaus and the Messehaus Bugra were built.. During the war, the area of the technical fair was used for military production and partly destroyed by bombs. In 1946, the first spring fair ('Peace fair') took place. When the GDR joined the RGW (Comecon) in 1950, the fair was used to present the production of the fellow socialist countries." The cover is a wraparound of heavy-weight blue paper with black titles in a black cartouche. The postcards are in Fine condition. A truly unique look at industrial/commercial Leipzig during WWII.
