In honor of this event, a folk festival was held in the open air.
According to its formal decision, the building is coordinated with the complex located opposite the Volkswagen plant, which is closely connected with the history of the city and the development of the trade union movement in Wolfsburg.
On a three-storey "podium" faced with dark clinker bricks, a four-storey glazed volume is installed, partially overhanging the street like a console. Its façade, dissected by red steel profiles, thanks to its dynamism, plays the role of an important urban development center of the area.
The walls of the main entrance lobby and the landscaped courtyard of the building are also glazed.
Such a project - emphatically modern, with a large number of transparent surfaces - should, according to the architects, reflect the change in the image of the trade union movement, its flexibility and appeal to the younger generation, as well as its respect for tradition.
