| Abstract: | Germany's attractivity as a location for automobile production is examined. First , the importance of the automobile industry for the whole economy of the country is considered. It is found that the country still has some advantages from the point of view of automobile industry: its geographical situation in the heart of Europe, high quality labour force, good infrastructure and the knowledge and innovativity of German engineers. On the other hand, several factors cause considerable problems for the German industry. The problem of high labour costs is recently the greatest disadvantage in the international competition. Other handicaps are associated with the productivity, with economic and social conditions. |
