Ludwigshafen

Our program

Opening hour: Monday to Friday 9 am until 4 pm

Summer closing period 2024

The Visitor Center is closed from July 29th until August 18th

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.

Daily Program

On weekdays, you can take part in a German guided tour of the exhibition free of charge every day, as well as in a site tour. In addition, we also offer an English Daily Program every wednesday.
