Wolfsburg ist 200km away from Berlin. Cologne has Ford, Hesse has Opel and continental, although the center of gravity is in the south, it's not like the industry doesn't have a certain spread throughout the country.

In America, 200 years are a long time; in Europe 200 km is a long distance.

200 km is the same distance everywhere, how "long" it actually ends up depends on the supporting infrastructure, and that's usually pretty good in Germany.

That’s “far” by local standards (I can be two countries over).

As a local, I would disagree...

That saying is meant for a leisure trip, 200km is close by for almost any kind of industry these days.
