Cornelia Lutz takes over project management of BAU

Messe München is about to undergo a major management change: From May 15, 2025, Cornelia Lutz will take over project management of BAU as well as responsibility for the entire international BAU network. She succeeds Matthias Strauss, who is leaving the company at his own request after more than 15 years.

Experience from the trade sector and return to Munich Trade Fair

Cornelia Lutz brings decades of trade fair experience with her - including from leading positions at the Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen. Among other things, she was responsible for the "Zukunft Handwerk" congress and initiated formats such as the symposium for female entrepreneurs in the skilled trades sector. With her return to Messe München, she is now also taking over the management of other events such as f.re.e and INTERFORST.

New impetus for the BAU network

As Senior Director Exhibitions, Cornelia Lutz will not only further develop BAU 2027, but also provide strategic support for the entire trade fair cluster - including digitalBAU, BAU China and Glasstech Asia. Messe München sees her as an experienced project manager with strong industry knowledge and has announced that it will work with her to further strengthen the content of BAU.
