What German town is the headquarters of Mercedes-AMG?

Mercedes-AMG is headquartered in Affalterbach, a town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The location is closely associated with AMG’s modern identity and houses major development, engineering, and performance operations.

AMG began as an independent performance engineering company rather than as a factory department of Mercedes-Benz. Its name comes from Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, plus Großaspach, Aufrecht’s birthplace. The company’s original work focused on improving Mercedes-Benz engines and racing cars.

A common mix-up is to choose Untertürkheim, Sindelfingen, or Bremen. Those places are strongly connected with Mercedes-Benz manufacturing and corporate operations, but they are not the headquarters of Mercedes-AMG. Affalterbach became especially important after most AMG operations moved there in 1976, although racing-engine development remained in nearby Burgstall for a time.

Today Mercedes-AMG GmbH is Mercedes-Benz AG’s high-performance subsidiary, producing performance variants and developing specialized sports cars and powertrains.
