The Wolfsburg Volkswagen Plant is the worldwide headquarters of the Volkswagen Group.[1] Situated in Wolfsburg, Germany, it is one of the largest manufacturing plants in the world, with an area of just under 6.5 million m2 (70 million sq ft) and a building area of 1.6 million m2 (17 million sq ft).[2] In 2015 the plant produced 815,000 cars. Volkswagen's currywurst is also produced at this facility.
In mid-2023 around 61,880 people were employed at the plant. It was the largest in the world (over thrice the size of Monaco) until overtaken by the Tesla Gigafactory 5 in Texas in 2022.[3][4]
