Wolfsburg

Known as Germany's richest city, Wolfsburg is the core of Germany's thriving automobile industry. Established in 1938, the city is the fifth largest metropolis of Lower Saxony. An important manufacturing center for military transport during the Second World War, Wolfsburg transformed into one of the most prosperous towns by the end of the 20th Century. A stark contrast to the quaint German towns and countryside, the city gleams with modern landmarks and sprawling avenues. Home to the Volkswagen Manufacturing Plant, the largest in the world, the city is also known for the Autostadt complex that showcases car models from some of the finest companies like Bentley, Lamborghini and Audi. However, there are also historical landmarks like the Wolfsburg Castle which have been well-preserved even amid the urban development. A haven for automobile lovers, the city will leave you awe-struck.
