Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg occupies a lowland position beside the Mittelland Canal in eastern Lower Saxony. Founded in 1938 as a planned settlement for the Volkswagen factory, it was renamed after nearby Wolfsburg Castle in 1945; the carmaker’s headquarters and vast production site still shape the city’s identity. Autostadt presents automobile brands, design and mobility beside the factory, while the Phaeno science centre, designed by Zaha Hadid, adds a striking contemporary landmark to the canal-side centre. Renaissance Wolfsburg Castle is a reminder of the area’s earlier history and houses the Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg.
