	'''Transparent Factory''' is the English name of an automobile production plant owned by German carmaker [[Volkswagen]] and opened in 2002. The original German name is '''Gläserne Manufaktur''' (''factory made of glass'', literally ''vitreous manufactory''). Both the German and English names are a word play on the double meaning of ''transparent'' and ''glassy'', referring to both optical transparency and transparency of the production process.

The original German name is '''Gläserne Manufaktur''' (''factory made of glass'', literally ''vitreous manufactory''). Both the German and English names are a word play on the double meaning of ''transparent'' and ''glassy'', referring to both optical transparency and transparency of the production process.

			The main purpose of the factory is the assembly of Volkswagen's luxury sedan, the [[Volkswagen Phaeton\|Phaeton]]. Spare capacity was also used to construct [[Bentley Continental Flying Spur (2005)\|Bentley Continental Flying Spur]] vehicles destined for the European market until 2006, when all work was transferred to [[Bentley]]'s plant in Crewe, England.

			The Transparent Factory is situated in the city center of Dresden, the 800-year-old German baroque city known for its arts and craftsmanship. It stands at the former location of the convention center. The factory's walls are made almost completely of glass. Its floors are covered entirely in Canadian maple. Its visitor-friendly layout was designed to accommodate up to 250 tourists per day. There are no smokestacks, no loud noises, and no toxic byproducts. Volkswagen have planted 350 trees in the grounds<ref name=Car200208>{{cite journal \| authorlink = Greg Fountain (Ed) \|title = Remind you of Longbridge?\| journal =[[Car Magazine]]\| volume = \| pages = pages 94–95\| date = August 2002}}</ref>.

			The transparent factory handles final assembly only. Operations such as stamping and welding and the painting of the steel bodies take place in Zwickau. Painted bodies arrive at the factory by truck. The other 1200 parts and 34 preassembled components are shipped to a remote logistics center and are transferred from there to the factory via CarGoTrams that run on Dresden's public transport tracks.

			The German TV channel ZDF occasionally produces a philosophical panel discussion in the Transparent Factory, "Das philosophische Quartett" (The Philosophical Quartet).
