14th Freiberg Leather Days

FOR OVER 10 YEARS - THE BRANCH MEETING OF THE EUROPEAN TANNING AND LEATHER INDUSTRY

The Freiberg Leather Days have been the meeting place for the European tanning and leather industry since 2012. Every two years in Freiberg and in the other year abroad, the VGCT and the FILK Freiberg as co-organisers invite experts, researchers and specialists to exchange ideas and actively participate in shaping the technical content.  This time, the 14th Freiberg Leather Days will take place in Münster on July, 1st and 2nd, 2026.



See you on July 1st and 2nd, 2026 in Münster / Germany?

The 14th Freiberg Leather Days on 1 and 2 July 2026 will take place as a presence-only event in Münster / Germany. The VGCT and FILK Freiberg as co-organiser are looking forward to seeing you again.

Münster is located in Westphalia / Germany and is known as a university city, cycling paradise and city of the Peace of Westphalia. It has a rich history, which is reflected in the medieval old town and its historic buildings. There has been a small settlement in the area of the cathedral square since the 6th century. In 793, a Frisian missionary founded a monastery (lat. monasterium) here, which gave its name to the developing town. It became famous above all when the ‘Peace of Westphalia’ was concluded here in 1648, ending the Thirty Years' War and the Eighty Years' War. Münster also has numerous museums and theatres, making it an important city of science and culture.


WE MEET AT THE CONVENTION HALL OF MÖVENPICK HOTEL

The Mövenpick Hotel Münster is located in the middle of a green oasis, the Aasee lake, and yet only a 15-minute walk from the old town. The conference area is located on the ground floor and offers plenty of space for us. State-of-the-art event technology, WIFI, air conditioning and natural daylight as well as a view of the surrounding gardens provide a pleasant atmosphere in which to concentrate on the conference programme.


For dinner on 01.07.2026 in the "A2"

The A2 am Aasee is known for its exclusive ambience and good food. The location is available to us on two levels. If it stays dry, we can look out over the lake and Münster from the roof terrace. We will meet here for dinner on the first day of the conference, 1 July 2026.
