Trade fairs, markets and exhibitions can be registered upon application in accordance with Section 69 of the Trade Regulation Act (GewO). A designated event enjoys the so-called market privileges (exemption from store opening hours, exemption from the traveling trade card requirement and no exemption from the Working Hours Act required). Establishment is possible on a permanent basis or for a specific period of time.
Responsible body
The large district towns, including the administrative communities, or the Ludwigsburg District Office for all other localities in the Ludwigsburg district are responsible for determining trade fairs, markets and exhibitions for the respective local area.
