Story · Gläserne Manufaktur

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at the Gläserne Manufaktur, Volkswagen's glass factory in Dresden. Have a good look. The walls are almost entirely glass. That's the whole joke in the name: glassy, but also transparent. The idea was that anyone could watch a car being put together. Architect Gunter Henn designed it, and it opened in 2002.
