Abstract This chronicles the legacies of Post-Socialist East Germany’s five current car factories, back to Auto Union’s (the forerunner to Audi) early-twentieth century plants in Saxony. To help guide the discussion, specific factories are reviewed together along grouped with their respective current automaker group, that is: VW Zwickau (former Auto Union); the pre-war BMW Eisenach is coupled with the current BMW Leipzig factory; and GM’s takeover of the former BMW Eisenach Works and its subsequent construction of today’s Opel Eisenach.
