Leipziger Messamt Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts, Leipzig, 4.5% bond for 100 Reichsmark, April 1937, purple and black, ornate border, embossed seal with sign of Leipzig Trade Fair, generally extremely fine. (82)

The Leipzig Trade Fair (German: Leipziger Messe) is a major trade fair, which traces its roots back for nearly a millennium. After World War 2, Leipzig fell within the territory of East Germany, whereupon the Leipzig Trade Fair became one of the most important trade fairs of Comecon and was traditionally a meeting place for businessmen and politicians from both sides of the Iron Curtain. Since 1996, the fair has taken place on the Leipzig fairgrounds, located about 7 kilometres north of the city centre.
