RETTmobil International, the international trade fair for rescue and mobility, holds its 25th edition from Wednesday 12 to Friday 14 May 2027 at the Messe Galerie in Fulda, Wolf-Hirth-Straße 40. It brings together emergency services, fire brigades, aid organisations, emergency doctors, paramedics and procurement teams, with ambulances and rescue vehicles, medical equipment, radio and control room technology, protective gear and training, plus a congress programme, workshops and an off-road course where vehicles are shown in realistic conditions. In 2026 the organiser counted around 30,000 trade visitors and about 500 exhibitors from 28 nations on some 70,000 square metres. Fulda, the baroque city that is the largest in eastern Hesse, is far smaller than Germany's big fair cities, so RETTmobil hotels in Fulda are worth booking early. The organiser lists a free shuttle bus from Fulda's ICE station to the fairground, which makes the Old Town and station area practical bases. This page shows live rates for your dates; your RETTmobil ticket is bought separately from the organiser.

Old Town, station or near the fairground?
- The baroque Old Town is a good base for evenings out, and the fair shuttle stops at Stadtschloss/Schlosstheater on its way to the fairground
- The station area suits anyone arriving by ICE, with the shuttle leaving from the ZOB next door

Do you need a visa for RETTmobil International?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Germany is in the Schengen Area; EU, EEA and Swiss citizens travel with a passport or national ID card
- The German Federal Foreign Office lists citizens of the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan and many other countries as needing no visa for short stays of up to 90 days in any 180 day period
- Non EU travellers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System, with fingerprints and a facial image taken at the border, so allow extra time at passport control
- ETIAS, the EU's planned travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors, was not yet in operation when we checked; the EU says it will announce the start date several months ahead, so check before you fly
eVisa / visa required
- Nationals of countries such as India, China, South Africa and Türkiye need a Schengen short stay (type C) visa, applied for through German missions or their appointed visa centres
- Under EU rules you can apply no earlier than six months and at least 15 days before travel; standard processing takes 15 days and can be extended to 45
- The RETTmobil pages we checked do not describe a visa letter service, so exhibitors and delegations who need one should contact the organiser early
Documents to carry
- A passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area
- Your RETTmobil ticket or exhibitor pass, printed or on your phone
- Hotel booking and return travel details, plus copies of your visa supporting documents and travel medical insurance if you need a visa
Entry and visa rules change; check current requirements with the German embassy or consulate, or official EU sources, before you book.
First time at RETTmobil International?
- RETTmobil is a trade fair for people working in rescue services and civil protection; tickets for 2027 go on sale from early February 2027, the organiser says
- The fair runs Wednesday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00 each day
- Training courses and workshops run on all three days, and some sell out early: in 2026 the LUKAS RESCUE LEAGUE trainings were mostly booked before the fair opened
- Part of the show is outdoors, including the off-road course with vehicle rides and live demonstrations, so pack for the weather and comfortable shoes
- Download the site plan from the organiser before you go so you can find the halls and open-air areas quickly
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- 2027 is the 25th edition, and the organiser said well over half of exhibitors had already booked their 2027 space by the end of the 2026 fair, so expect a busy week for Fulda hotels
- With around 30,000 trade visitors arriving in a mid-sized city, it pays to book early; the organiser points visitors to Fulda tourism's hotel list, and Event Escapes is a separate, independent option where you book a named hotel at the rate shown
- Live exercises are a highlight: in 2026 they included a large rescue exercise with fire brigades and an air ambulance helicopter landing beside the fairground
