2026 Winter closing period: December 14th until 2027 January 1st 

We can't offer programs in this time. 

In the Visitor Center, you can take part in guided tours through the exhibition and site tours around the 10 square kilometers site premises free of charge – and all this in ten languages.  

For example, did you know that around 39,000 people work at the BASF headquarters in Ludwigshafen, the world’s largest contiguous chemical complex. Or did you know that 2,850 km of overground pipeline are laid on the site premises and provide short links for the transportation of products and energy in the form of fuel gas and steam? Explore and marvel at the BASF world in the BASF Visitor Center, either alone, as a couple, in groups or with your family.
