Transparent Factory, Modern car assembly plant in Dresden, Germany
The Transparent Factory features extensive glass walls covering 27,500 square meters and maple wood floors throughout its three-story building complex.
The factory opened in 2002 on the former location of Dresden's exhibition palace and Kugelhaus, which were removed during World War II.
The facility functions as an educational center where students develop transportation technologies and participate in startup programs focused on future mobility.
Visitors can access guided tours, exhibitions about electric mobility, and test drives of Volkswagen electric vehicles from Monday through Saturday.
The building incorporates an outdoor speaker system that produces bird sounds to prevent avian collisions with its glass surfaces.
