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.

Between the wars, the Ring-Messehaus and the Messehaus Bugra were built.

Trade goods now included herring, cloth, wine and pepper.In 1380, Leipzig got the privilege to force all passing merchants to offer their goods for sale (Stapelrecht).A third fair, at the first of January was founded by Friedrich II of Saxony (the Gentle) in 1458.

It had an Imperial privilege.In 1507 Emperor Maximilian I made the Leipzig fairs imperial fairs (Reichsmessen) and banned any fairs within a 15-mile radius around the town, which further increased Leipzig's importance.

This led to the settlement of numerous merchants in Leipzig.
