Wolfsburg

　　   Wolfsburg is located on the Aller River north of Brunswick in central Germany and is a city in the state of Lower Saxony. It is one of the few cities in Germany that was planned and built in the twentieth century. Though its history is relatively short, it has been eventful and has often led architectural trends in the Federal Republic of Germany.

　　   Wolfsburg is a prime example of successful planned urban development. Its history has always been closely tied to the growth of Volkswagen AG, whose headquarters remain in the city to this day. The city’s landscape features a cultural center, theater complex, planetarium, art museum, Autostadt (Car City), and the Phaeno Science Center. The Wolfsburg Theater meets the city’s cultural needs, staging two original productions annually. The Wolfsburg Art Museum has hosted numerous important exhibitions and events over the years, particularly in contemporary painting, sculpture, photography, fashion, and design. The City Museum and Municipal Gallery are also absolute must-visits.

　　   Wolfsburg’s Neues Haus is a 14th-century medieval moated castle; Schloss Fallersleben was built in 1551, and in 1991 the Hoffmann von Fallersleben Museum was established there.
