On weekends, public holidays, bridge days and during the factory holidays, our production is generally suspended. Production is also suspended during break times, which we will communicate to you by telephone.

We would like to point out that production shifts may also change at short notice due to parts availability, force majeure or other reasons. Deviations from the regular planning (weekly change of early and late shifts) can be found under our production calendar. Alternatively, you are welcome to contact us again by phone or in writing a few days before your tour. We thank you for your understanding and wish you a great stay at Volkswagen's Transparent Factory in Dresden.
