Overview

  • Discover the hidden architectural revolution of Wolfsburg. Originally conceived as a rigid, industrial machine for the Nazi's car production, the city was radically redesigned after the Second World War by visionary architects such as Alvar Aalto and Hans Scharoun. On this tour, you will learn how organic modernism – with its flowing curves, tactile materials, and human-centered design – was used to give a purely industrial city a soul. We decode the concept of the “cityscape” and reveal the democratic ideals embedded in the bricks and glass of these post-war masterpieces.
