Here, Volkswagen shows what the brand stands for: e-mobility, customer experience, sympathy and approachability. Visit the ID.3 production facility – and feel free to lend a hand yourself in our hands-on experience.

As a beacon for the Volkswagen brand in Germany, we want to offer customers, visitors and guests from all over the world a holistic experience of e-mobility – starting with a tour of the production and experience world, helping to build the ID.3, to consulting and test drives in the latest all-electric models of the ID. family, to vehicle collection. Visitors and potential customers will meet product experts here who can show and explain to them in a practical way how electromobility works in daily life.

With its modern architecture and the unique and inspiring backdrop of the production, it is a popular place for exchange and encounter between culture, art, science, business and politics.
