VW's transparent factory in Dresden - this is where VW's electric cars are manufactured ("Home of ID"). Company tours are possible, often fully booked, so it is better to register in advance. Further information at glaesernemanufaktur.de

The Transparent Factory is a Volkswagen AG presentation site on the former site of the municipal exhibition grounds on the north-western edge of the Great Garden. In the factory, which was officially opened on March 19, 2002, the final assembly of the luxury VW Phaeton was done by hand. In order to avoid increased traffic in this downtown location, the transport to and from the factory was carried out with the help of the CarGoTram, a goods tram financed by VW that ran between the Transparent Factory and the logistics center at Dresden-Friedrichstadt station. Since the production switch from VW to electric drives, it has been using this connection again since 2017.

Usually only admission with a guide and when the car is picked up. We asked nicely and were allowed in anyway. Very very nice. Thanks.

The Transparent Factory in Dresden is a competence center for electromobility. But above all: Home of ID. In addition to show cars and interactive exhibits on the subject of electromobility, the ID. Experience World has its own restaurant and an ID. Store. Here, visitors can get to know the highlights and equipment variants of the current ID. models in more detail - whether on an individual 60-minute tour with our experts or by configuring the vehicle of their choice. If you would rather see the ID. models up close, you can do so by test-sitting in one. Or you can test drive one of the ID. models available on site and experience how it feels on the road: the future of electric mobility.
But the Transparent Factory also has a lot to offer for technology fans - especially for those who want to see how an ID.3 is assembled here in a CO2-neutral way. What's special: During our production tours, visitors can not only accompany the ID.3 along the production line, but also get their hands dirty and help build it under expert guidance - if it's possible, even on their own vehicle. When an ID.3 is finally ready for the road, future ID. owners can enjoy a special highlight on site: personal vehicle collection. Spectacularly staged, it makes the day in the Transparent Factory perfect - and the vehicle handover an unforgettable experience.

Formerly exhibition palace, Christmas exhibition, exhibition hall and now car production. Bikes would be better but without E.
