Wolfsburg

Located along the Mittelland Canal, Wolfsburg extends across numerous districts with modern urban planning integrating residential zones, industrial areas, and green spaces.

The city originated in 1938 as a residential development for Volkswagen factory workers, transforming from a small settlement into the fifth-largest city in Lower Saxony.

The Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg and the cultural center designed by Alvar Aalto represent significant venues for contemporary art and architectural excellence in northern Germany.

The central railway station connects directly to major cities including Berlin and Hanover, while the Mittelland Canal facilitates industrial transportation across the region.

The Autostadt complex spans 28 hectares next to the Volkswagen plant, presenting automotive history through pavilions dedicated to different car manufacturers.
