#trabant #2022 #sachsenringzwickau Pictures from 2022 showing a tour of the Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau site.
Together with Thomas Müller from @Förderverein August Horch Museum e.V. we take a tour of the former Trabant production site.
Thomas, who is also a former "Sachsenringer" himself, also gives regular tours and has an incredible amount of knowledge about the production. To illustrate what Thomas is talking about at the various points, I have included a few excerpts from the 1990 film "Trabant Production".
There hasn't been a Trabant made there for more than 30 years, reason enough to see what you can still see from the place where one of the Trabant rolled off the assembly line. Track ZCM the train loading for the Trabant was formerly at this location.
I want to show you again completely the path that we are now going to go here. Starting with the blue metal fence with the Sachsenring logo, we then go to a former ZCM track where the train loading was, so formerly this is where the oval belt begins or this is where the bend is made and the marriage follows is also the delivery of the engine and transmission and here at the back So if the Trabi is placed on the assembly line, it arrives here in Plant 2 fully painted and as a body, with shackles, etc.. It then drives back here at the back and these 250 meters here, there, the pure assembly line ends with the test stands. Further back is the sprinkler system and the finishing shop. The Trabi is almost completely finished, but then it gets its chairs in.
That was a little tour of the former Trabant factory, I hope you enjoyed it and, as always, I'm happy about a thumbs up or even a subscription. That would be your Jan soon
