Wolfsburg is one of the newest and at the same time signifigant newly founded cities in the 20th century. Born along with the idea of the "Volkswagen" , or an automobile for everyman and built in record time, the former „City of the Kraft durch Freude Car" is today one of the most dynamic cities in Germany. Buildings designed by prominent architects like Hans Scharoun, Alvar Aalto and Zaha Hadid make Wolfsburg an attractive location for those who are interested in architecture.
This architecture guide presents the architectural variety and the special urban development in Wolfsburg, from the Middle Ages to today. The chronologically organized chapters take the reader on a tour of discovery through the individual epochs. The characteristics of each period are attractively displayed with an introduction and color illustrations. In addition to the individual buildings, influential Wolfsburg master builders are portrayed.
