Portrait of the cultural center from the 1960s

When you speak of the "Marktplatz" in Wolfsburg, you usually mean the Rathausplatz (also called Rathausmarkt). Since Wolfsburg is a young city, founded only in 1938, there is no medieval marketplace here, but a modern, spacious center directly on Porschestraße.

The Fallersleben train station is today an important regional hub for commuters in the Wolfsburg area, but has a history closely linked to the development of the railway in Germany and the emergence of the Volkswagen plant.

The fountain is located on Denkmalplatz, directly in the historic old town, not far from Fallersleben Castle and the Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben Museum. It is a bronze statue of August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798–1874), the poet of the German national anthem. He is depicted there in a pensive, almost striding pose. The fountain was erected to honor the poet as a freedom fighter and linguist. During his lifetime, Fallersleben was often on the run from censorship due to his political texts (such as the Unpolitical Songs) and was even removed from his post as professor.

The cultural center was designed by the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto and inaugurated in 1962. The building is a listed historical monument and is considered a complete work of art, as even details such as furniture, lamps, and door handles were designed by Aalto. The city's wine shop is currently located next to the library.

The Wolfsburg Planetarium is located at the foot of Klieversberg hill in the Bürgerpark (Citizens' Park). After Volkswagen presented the city of Wolfsburg with a Zeiss star projector for its anniversary in 1978, the construction of the planetarium with its 15-meter-high dome was commissioned. The celestial machine, which features stargazing expeditions as well as science and music programs, can accommodate approximately 140 visitors.

The pedestrian zone begins – this is where car traffic ends and the highlight begins. Unmistakably spectacular: a crossing that the Komoot map already recognizes, but now marked with a red dot and likes. Ideally, there would also be a "Beginning of the pedestrian zone" marker at the other end – and, to complete the picture, a "End of the pedestrian zone" marker at each end. Then the entire street section is marked four times: mundane in reality, but impossible to miss on Komoot.

At the Alvar Aalto Cultural Center (designed by a Finnish architect and listed as a historical monument), you suddenly find yourself in a flower meadow. Try counting the stone flowers embedded in the ground in front of the library.
