BMW plant in Leipzig

The three-year construction phase of the BMW plant began in August 2001, with a total investment of 3 billion euros. Since March 1,2, several hundred vehicles have been manufactured here every day - in the first ten years, more than two million cars have already rolled off the production line. The visual highlight is the spectacular and award-winning architecture of the central building designed by Zaha Hadid. It was awarded the German Architecture Prize in 2005 and functions as the communicative center of the plant.

To ensure that employees can see their product at all times, the bodies are transported between the individual production areas via the office workstations. The BMW plant is also a popular tourist destination: on one of the factory tours, you have the opportunity to gain an insight into vehicle production - from welding the body to painting and individual vehicle equipment.
