I arrive at Weeze airport for work on 17.01.20 at 11.50, departure on 19.01.20 at 8.00. Will it be a problem to leave and arrive back by public transport?
The exhibition will be held in Cologne. Tell me, what is the best way - to take an apartment near Cologne and rent a car, or to settle in the city itself and use public transport? Thanks in advance for your replies. In these cities of Germany for the first time.

I would recommend living in Cologne itself than taking a steam bath with a rental car. It will not be possible to park a car near the exhibition, and a rented car + parking fee will gobble up all the savings.
Another option is that there is a train station at CologneMesse, you can live in the suburbs and go directly to the exhibition without traffic jams and without transfers. See for example Longerich how much apartments cost there, or even further along the railway line. You can also look from the other side - Troisdorf. There is a direct train (S-Bahn) routes 12 and 13, as well as regular trains. In Google, select a city on the railway line, and on the site bahn.de cvjnhbnt look for routes to Koln Messe, see there that there are 0 transfers.

My departure is early at 8.00, so there are fears in terms of getting to Weeze airport by 6.00 in the morning, as I understand it, I need to leave Cologne at 3.00 at night .. I looked at the bus schedule for Sunday 19.01 from Dusseldorf, the bus goes at 4.40, arrives in Weeze at 6.30 .. a little lapping ... from public transport, except for buses, nothing else goes to Weeze? I looked at housing near Kerpen ... it seems like there is a railway line nearby.

Car rental costs about 42 € for this period, I think even refueling is no more than 40 € (about 30 liters of fuel), parking near apartments or hotels is free, near the exhibition it should probably also be free. We are flying together with a friend, that is, if it is divided into two, it comes out to about 40 € per person .. the question is whether it makes sense to use public transport, since it will probably be almost the same money (one-way bus from what I read 18 €). .

Train 19b01 departs from Cologne Messe at 00:52. Arrives in Vize around 3 am. In the same way, you can go from another station if you live in the suburbs. See Weeze Bahnhof terminus. Taxi to the airport judging by the distance - a maximum of 25 Euro.
There is no free parking near the exhibition, this is the city center - in Germany, by definition, there is no free parking in the centers of large cities. Parking there on the territory of the exhibition, I don’t know how much it costs, but it’s definitely not cheap. Minimum 2 Euro per hour.

all the tips are good, but keep in mind that 18 and 19 are weekends. This means there may not be any buses that you are looking at, they may be late. as well as trains and electric trains. And I don’t remember anything about direct buses from Cologne to Weeze. In Germany, this is a common thing. And honestly, no taxi will cost $ 25, from Cologne to Weeze to go by car for an hour and a half, if not more. As for me, it is more convenient for you to rent a car, so avoid unnecessary worries and searches for transport. Is it possible to rent accommodation near the exhibition, in what part of the city is it?

and I also see at the exhibition entrance tickets give you the right to travel by public transport - by metro, trains and trams, buses. But it does not include bus travel between cities except Bonn. Here is the solution to your problem. From and to the airport, you will have a free car rental locally. But in principle, all the main attractions in the city are concentrated in the center, so you can take a walk)

Lana, you inattentively read.
There is an electric train from Cologne to Wiese on the 19th, arriving in Wiese at about 3 am. There, from the station to the airport, a taxi is a maximum of 25 Euros, judging by the distance.
The exhibition is held in the center, there will be no cheap housing in principle. The last time I lived in a hotel for 300 Euros (when there are no exhibitions, this room costs 120 Euros). True, there was walking distance, I walked on foot.

kolyan_cat Well, if there is a taxi from Bahnhof to the airport, then yes, not far from km-7-8. But I actually write what happens on weekends in Germany, how buses and trains go. And what is the direct train from Cologne to Weeze? Yes, even on a day off? You are always arguing with everyone. My business is to write. And let the person make the decision himself. In Germany, on weekends, I personally don’t have much hope for public transport, because I know what can happen. Therefore, I would do exactly as I advise, knowing what happens on weekends with public transport. And car rental is fast and convenient in this situation. And the fact that you lived for 300 euros does not mean that you cannot live for 50 in a decent hotel and a decent place. The price of the hotel has nothing to do with the exhibition in the city.

The train is on, I checked, with 1 change, exactly on the 19th, tickets are on sale. Well, I'm not just writing, first I checked the schedule on the Deutschbahn.
For the price of the hotel you are right. I was in the days when the exhibition was held, which gathered from all over the world, occupied the entire Cologne Messe, then everything was taken apart. If the exhibition is relatively small, then the price of hotels is really normal. Offhand, Booking shows that for 70 you can rent a room, not in the center of course, but as you rightly noted, a ticket to the exhibition gives free travel in conditions of well-developed public transport.

I plan to live in Kerpen near Cologne .. housing is 160 €, with breakfast for two, approximately at this price there is housing in Cologne itself .. just with a car rental it will be more convenient to get to the airport in the morning.

Why did I choose to live near Cologne, namely Kerpen, so that there would be no problems with parking a car ... especially since there seems to be a direct train from Kerpen to Kelnmesse

With a car, of course, there is not much desire to bathe, because of parking lots, etc., but I also don’t really want to spend all night to get to Weeze.

if it weren’t for the weekend, it would be possible, of course, to take a steam bath) But in the district of Cologne .. in my and not only experience, both trains and buses are late. But of course it’s up to you to decide.
