The story

In 1908 the original Exhibition Park opened on the Theresienhöhe located behind the Ruhmeshalle; the fair moved at the end of 1998 to the new center in Munich-Riem.

1972 Summer Olympics

In its former location, the Messegelände consisted of twenty buildings located in the greater Munich area. During the 1972 Summer Olympics, five of these venues served as host to the fencing, the fencing part of modern pentathlon, judo, weightlifting, and wrestling events. These were:

Fencing Hall 1: These two halls, 11 and 12, played host to the fencing competitions for these games. Hall 11 was used as an entrance for spectators, while Hall 12 was a competition area. They hosted the fencing finals.

Fencing Hall 2: Hall 20 hosted the semifinals of the fencing competitions, along with the fencing part of the modern pentathlon event for the 1972 Games.

Weightlifting Hall: Hall 7 hosted the weightlifting competitions during the 1972 Games.

Judo and Wrestling Hall: Hall 14, the only one that was newly built, hosted the judo and wrestling competitions.
