What you can expect

  • As soon as you step inside, it becomes clear that this is not about ongoing vehicle production, but about making car manufacturing understandable and bringing it to life. The environment is bright, quiet and open – more of an experience and demonstration area than a production floor.

    During the guided tour, staff demonstrate typical assembly tasks from vehicle production and provide practical insights into modern production processes. The focus is on ergonomic workstations, support systems and manipulators that reduce physical strain and simplify work processes.
    Robotics is also explained in a clear and engaging way: demonstrations show which tasks robots can take on and how they support people on the production line. Through personalised explanations and direct interaction, visitors gain a tangible understanding of modern vehicle production and the interplay between people and technology.

    The tour concludes at the Speisewerk, whose modern atmosphere invites visitors to linger. We particularly recommend the iconic VW currywurst, which provides an authentic finishing touch to the visit.
