Wolfsburg, home of VW

by eddilowe - last update: Sep 9, 2005

Visit to Autostadt and VW Museum

Chimneys on the old VW factory
Wolfsburg is a relatively young town compared with many of those we visited on our 10-day trip.

Founded on a green field site in 1938 it developed from a worker settlement for those who worked producing the car into a modern city and came to be known as Wolfsburg in 1945 - named after the 700 year old Wolfsburg castle.

We only had one day and night in Wolfsburg and that was taken up by the visit to Autostadt, a tour round the VW factory and a trip to the VW museum.

I had really wanted to get into the castle but we didn't have enough time.

Please have a read of my Germany Travelogue which is a diary of our 10-day road trip
