At the end of the 1950s, the four-ring plant of Auto Union GmbH is being built on Ettinger Straße on the outskirts of Ingolstadt – literally on the green meadow. Previously, a new building in the Zons on the Rhine was favored for a long time. How did it come about that the Ingolstadt location finally won the race? In his lecture “The ‘New Work’ – the history of the Auto-Union plant on Ettinger Straße” historian Ralf Friese tells how it all began.
