what is the meaning of this sentence? Seit 1497 finden hier Messen statt
I have searched for the meaning of "Messen" and "statt" separately in dictionary but it doesn't make sense in this sentence .
I also found that "Es findet statt" means "it takes place" which I think has to have sth with this sentence.

Question

Answer

I don't really know how to explain bit I try , Eine Messe is what Is happening in the church on sondays , and the verb stattfinden means happen , occurs ...

Answer

I'd translate it into English as, "Trade fairs/exhibitions haven taken place/occurred here since 1497."

Answer

die Messe (pl. die Messen) = نمایشگاه
oder عبادت جمعی در کلیسای کاتولیک
stattfinden = برگزار شدن
