Winter wonderland in the Autostadt Wolfsburg

Autostadt Wolfsburg: winter wonderland

 

The winter wonderland starts next month in the Autostadt!


Winter magic from November 29th to January 5th, 2025 in the Autostadt Wolfsburg

    

Wolfsburg.
Next month is November! A time when it becomes cozy and magical winter landscapes invite visitors - at least in Wolfsburg. You can go ice skating on a huge 4,000 square meter ice rink and then go to the ice disco in the evening.  And then there is the 1,100 square meter snow world, which invites you to toboggan and build snowmen. The children's carousel and the chain plane await the little ones and the crime story readings with actor Roland Kalweit are waiting for the older ones.

The chairman of the Autostadt management board, Armin Maus, puts it in a nutshell:


“The Autostadt is always worth a trip – especially in the cold season. Embedded in a magical winter landscape, glittering lights and a multitude of winter market stalls create an atmosphere that invites you to end the year in a relaxed atmosphere - and to start the new year as well ... "

Winter feel-good moments: market stalls, ice skating and social gatherings


  •     Stalls with handmade crafts and small souvenirs, but also Christmas items, accessories and toys
  •     Gourmet stands with punch, Kaiserschmarrn, waffles and almonds, cheese spaetzle or spit roast
  •      Hut magic right on the ice surface
  •      XXL hut with Feuerzangenbowle
  •     and après-ski hits
  •     ...

There is a lot of variety in the 1,100 square meter snow world for children aged four to twelve


  •     Tobogganing, building snowmen, the historic carousel and the chain flyer are on offer and ensure lots of fun.
  •     The highlights of the winter wonderland will conjure up sparkling eyes with a 40 kilometer long chain of lights that illuminates the trees and hedges.
  •     The chimneys of the Volkswagen power plant become Advent candles.
  •     And an illuminated Santa Claus sculpture on the Mittelland Canal greets you from afar from the piazza.


The popular crime entertainment “Crime Time”


CRIME TIME has been an integral part of the winter program in the winter world for over two decades. The literary experience has a new stage in the Panorama Cinema, where Roland Kalweit unpacks crime novels from world literature and is supported by “outstanding actresses and actors” (as the organizers announced).
