of the year with 405,000 guests in December alone was a great
success and a fantastic end to a successful year for the
Autostadt." Together with Claudius Colsman, the former Porsche
manager took over the Autostadt in September 2017 from Otto F.
Wachs. In total, 2.22 million guests visited the theme park in
2017, slightly exceeding the previous year's figure of 2.2 million.
The Autostadt reconfirmed its position as the leading automotive

Wonderland, have become permanent fixtures for many visitors. In
its second year, the summer festival attracted 340,000 visitors.
This winter, more than 490,000 people visited the Autostadt (from 1
December to 7 January). Along with the summer and winter events,

Commission, presented awards for the Autostadt educational
programmes.

Autostadt Claudius Colsman and I have taken on one of the most
exciting tasks in the Volkswagen Group. We would like to express
our thanks to Otto F. Wachs, who developed this place into the
world's leading automotive platform. Together with a highly
motivated team, we now have the opportunity to take the Autostadt
to the next phase in order to strengthen the presentation of
current and future themes to our guests at this unique location."
