The FeuerTrutz Expo in Nuremberg, which has been taking place since 2011, is a significant event and congress for preventive fire protection. "FeuerTrutz" is a compound word, composed of the parts "Feuer" and "Trutz". "Feuer" is self-explanatory, referring to the central theme of the expo, namely fire protection. "Trutz" is an old German word, meaning resistance, defiance, or also protection. It is usually used in compound words, such as "Trutzburg", which refers to a fortress built for resisting enemies. In combination with "Feuer", "Trutz" thus suggests resistance against or protection from fire. Therefore, "FeuerTrutz" can be interpreted as "protection from fire" or "resistance against fire", which aligns well with the focus of the expo on preventive fire protection. The FeuerTrutz Expo takes place at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre, which is operated by NürnbergMesse GmbH. The expo, which occurs annually, targets professional visitors, buyers, and business people from the fire prevention and protection sectors. Exhibitors come from industries focusing on fire fighting, security, and infrastructure protection, and they present innovative technologies and solutions for fire protection problems. Topics at the FeuerTrutz include both structural, technical, and organizational fire protection solutions. Products and services showcased at the expo encompass a wide range of technological innovations and strategic approaches to fire prevention and combating. The Nuremberg Exhibition Centre is easily accessible, as it is well connected to the transport network and can be conveniently reached by car as well as by public transport. Additionally, it is a significant landmark of the city and offers visitors the opportunity to discover the historical and cultural attractions of Nuremberg besides the expo. On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 2 days of the fair, from 21. June to 22. June 2023, about 247 exhibitors and 5600 visitors on the FeuerTrutz in Nuremberg.
