Waggonbau Görlitz

The Waggonbau Görlitz Corporation (Görlitz Rolling Stock Corporation) was a manufacturer of locomotives and rolling stock established in the German city of Görlitz in 1849. They are best known for the double-decker rail cars that had been in production since 1935. In 1998 the plant was acquired by Bombardier Transportation to produce the Bombardier Double-deck Coach brand (not to be confused with the North American Bombardier BiLevel Coaches). From 2021 to 2025 it belonged to Alstom.

In 2025 it was sold to arms manufacturer KNDS, and from 2026 produces tanks such as the Leopard 2 for the German army. It remained open for the remainder of 2025 to finish orders of the Twindexx Dosto for Israel Railways and several trams. Around 400 employees were retained.

On 16 December 2025 the last train wagon was delivered.
