A guide leads a group of visitors through the production of the Transparent Factory

Basic Tour

Our introductory offer

The Transparent Factory was once built as a car factory in the middle of the city. With its modern architecture, it has become a highlight and symbol of modern Dresden at the same time. If you would like to learn more about this and, above all, want to know what is hidden behind the glass façade today, then join us on this overview tour.

A guide leads a group of visitors through the production of the Transparent Factory

The tour gives you a perfect overview of the exciting history of the house, which began as a glass production facility for the Phaeton. Every room, every meter of parquet or glass was designed to showcase the vehicle and its production. With the switch to production of the e-Golf and later the first all-electric Volkswagen ID.3, the company became a pioneer in electric mobility. You can still experience the most exciting stages of the final assembly of an ID.3 today, only now you have the opportunity to get even closer to the bodies and technical systems.

On the 45-minute guided tour, you will get a first insight into selected assembly steps and techniques, about which our workers at the stations will be happy to tell you exciting stories and details. In our exhibition, you can see the vehicles that have been produced here at the site, but also experience the latest models and developments at Volkswagen

In addition, you will learn interesting and interesting facts about the special architecture of the house, which was designed from the beginning to be in good harmony with its neighbors. And you will find out what topics we are dealing with here at the site today.

For families with children, daycare and after-school care groups, we recommend our Kid.s Tour.

P.S. If we were able to arouse your curiosity or if you would like to experience our e-models live – a small selection is available for test drives in front of our house.
