<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/70626467@N00/54689832751/" title="View of Wolfsburg"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54689832751_9160a1af66_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="View of Wolfsburg" /></a></p>

<p>From the car storage tower, which I saw with the aid of a tour guide, I also looked south to get a picture of Wolfsburg itself, the city that Heinz Nordhoff built.   <br />
<br />
Back during the war, after it was founded by the Nazis and called Kraft-durch-Freude-Stadt, Wolfsburg was not a city of strength or joy as its original name deceptively implied, but little more than a glorified barracks town where workers who built tanks and military vehicles for the <i>Wehrmacht</i> lived, working as they did alongside POW slave labor in the factory.  Postwar Wolfsburg quickly modernized with the success of Volkswagen, and new shopping districts and entertainment centers sprouted up, as did more stylish and fashionable houses for the assembly line workers, factory managers, and corporate elite.  What Francis Lowell did in Massachusetts for his textile mill employees and what Milton Hershey did for his chocolate-factory employees in Pennsylvania, Heinz Nordhoff did for his autoworkers in this corner of Lower Saxony along the Mittelland Canal - create and foster the ideal company town.<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that, unlike other German towns that have stood for hundreds of years and perhaps even a thousand years, Wolfsburg, in the Big Bang scheme of things, was founded last week, I wanted to see the city for myself.  However, Autostadt is so time-consuming, I didn't get the opportunity to do that.  I couldn't even do everything at Autostadt.  The complex offered tours of the car storage towers and the factory, but I couldn't do both.  I had to choose between the two.  I chose the car storage towers.</p>

<p>EN: The centre of Potsdam is a clumsy mixture of GDR remains and new-age buildings which are supposed to give a historic atmosphere to the city. Thus, the ViP Tatra KT4DMC #151 is seen between the former Interhotel and the reconstructed regional parliament (&quot;Landtag&quot;).<br />
<br />
DE: Die Stadtmitte von Potsdam ist eine gewöhnungsbedürftige Mischung aus DDR-Überbleibseln und wiederaufgebauten Gebäuden, die das historische Flair der Stadt wiederbeleben sollen. Hier passiert Tatra KT4DMC #151 das frühere Interhotel und den wiederaufgebauten Brandenburger Landtag.</p>
