An exclusive look inside the most advanced Mercedes-Benz car factory in the world

Factory 56, Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen.

The Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen site just outside of Stuttgart in Germany, has been building cars since 1919. Every Mercedes S-Class has been built here since its inception in 1972 and the classic 300SL Gullwing was also a product of this facility. 

The Sindelfingen site is the size of a small town, covering over 3,000,000m2 and employing over 35,000 people. It has its own restaurants, a kindergarten, two fire stations and a petrol station. It also has two test tracks where new models can be put through their paces, away from prying eyes.
