The northern limitation of the Autostadt
Wolfsburg is created by a long, rectangular water basin with two glass
cylinders to the northeast: the AutoTürme. They all symbolize the process of
vehicle production and serve as an intermediate storage for the newly completed
cars prior to delivery. Every tower holds 400 vehicles which are transported
via elevators into the free shafts of the 20 storeys. Every 40 seconds a new
car arrives underground at the cylinder from the production plant, while
another leaves the towers in the direction of the KundenCentre. This constant
movement to the inside of the cylinder as a glass motor sets the heartbeat of
the Autostadt Wolfsburg.
