New Opel headquarters in Rüsselsheim takes shape

The structural shell of Opel’s new headquarters in Rüsselsheim is largely complete. The project will now move into interior construction, with the entire site scheduled for completion in the second half of 2027.

Opel chief Florian Huettl said at the topping-out ceremony for the Green Campus, “We are investing here in Rüsselsheim because we believe in this location.” He described the site as a modern place for design and innovation that respects Opel’s history while looking ahead.

We are investing here in Rüsselsheim because we believe in this location.

The campus will cover about 114,000 square meters and bring together workplaces, research and innovation. Stellantis says the project forms part of a European Green Campus network that also includes locations in France and Italy. Rüsselsheim will receive an administration building, a research and development building, and a design center where Opel models will be designed and developed.

With the Green Campus, the transformation of the traditional Opel site is becoming visible step by step.

Mayor Patrick Burghardt said the transformation of the traditional Opel site was becoming visible step by step. He called the planned buildings a new standard and said the investment would support innovation, skilled jobs, and economic strength. The city also hopes to attract more investors to the Opel grounds.

Opel has long shaped Rüsselsheim’s economy and identity. More than 40,000 people once worked for the automaker there, compared with nearly 7,000 today. The company’s losses have affected the city after decades when Opel generated strong business and tax revenues.

Here, buildings are being created that will set a standard.
