This year, the fair was guided by the motto "Buy Things That Matter". The focus: high-quality, timelessly beautiful and often hand-made goods by small and large manufacturers.
The New Heritage offered a unique opportunity for end consumers and retailers to discover unique products, engage in direct exchange with manufacturers and take part in numerous workshops and lectures.

In addition to end consumers, visitors from the B2B area increasingly participated in the festival. In this way, manufacturers had the opportunity to obtain direct feedback from consumers as well as competition and test their products. The eight workshops and lectures, which took place, were particularly well attended this year.
Highlights included the lecture "Restoring Furniture" by Stephan Beek (Unicum Krefeld), the workshop "Patinate Factory Lamps Gold" by WDR upcycling expert Stefanie Driver, in which old factory lamps were given a second life through the application of gold and copper patina, and the "Trashtalk" by the organizer of the Blockblocks Rhein Cleanup, Victoria Blocksdorf, who gave valuable information about plastic avoidance.

The New Heritage Festival will return to its hometown of Munich on May 09th and 10th 2020. For the first time, it will not take place on the Praterinsel but in the Zenith as well as the Kohlebunker. These new locations do justice to the space requirements and offer the chance to open the festival to even more groups of visitors.
The organizers plan, too Lifestyle-Brands with heritage DNA as well as sustainable labels that attach great importance to the fair and ecological production of their products.
