Die Gläserne Mnufaktur - Dresden, Germany
View Larger Map
Transparent Factory is the English name of an automobile production plant owned by German carmaker Volkswagen and opened in 2002. The original German name is Gläserne Manufaktur (factory made of glass). Both the German and English names are a word play on the double meaning of transparent, referring to both optical transparency and transparency of the production process.
The main purpose of the factory is the assembly of Volkswagen's luxury sedan, the Phaeton.
The Transparent Factory is situated in the city center of Dresden. It stands at the former location of the convention center. The factory's walls are made almost completely of glass. Its floors are covered entirely in Canadian maple. Its visitor-friendly layout was designed to accommodate up to 250 tourists per day. There are no smokestacks, no loud noises, and no toxic byproducts.
