Die Gläserne Manufaktur (The Transparent Factory)
Since 2001 „Die Gläserne Manufaktur“ has been the production site for Volkswagen’s Phaeton model. Volkswagen combined the construction of the factory and its idea of a new luxury class car, manufactured with the aim of linking innovative automobile construction to the traditional values of manufactories, while making a communicative event out of the building’s open transparent architecture. „Die Gläserne Manufaktur“ was built, not in an industrial area on the outskirts of Dresden, but in the heart of the city on the Elbe River, just a ten minutes’ walk from the historic centre.
