I'm not completely sure. They don't publish it on the product pages. Though, going by old threads on the net, the 800 series seems to be made there. It being a premium model series. In other words, the more expensive the model, the higher the probability it's made there and thus carries a premium price tag. Ideally, the best way to figure what models are is to contact them directly and speak with local reps. Doesn't hurt to ask the people you've hired, too. They've okayed and installed plenty of them, I'm sure. They likely know which ones are stamped with a made in Germany tag. The China made models are few and far in between. It's mostly US vs. Germany.

@A.Goldberg - how about an update?
I thought of you last night when the bottom of my scotch glass hit the granite counter. No better sound than that solid “tap”.

We just started construction a little over a week ago. The demolition work is done and they’re working on the walls and bathroom. For the floors we got lucky- a couple buildings down (within the same row of matching brownstones, built at the same time with the same materials) the people are doing renovations and are tearing up their kitchens hardwood to put in tile, so we arranged to get the hardwood to having a matching transition where we took down part of a wall.
For the countertops we decided to go with a marble-esque Quartz due to its good asthetics, durability, and lack of maintanence.
We decided to go with Subzero for the fridge. We’re doing a Wolf gas cooktop, built in single electric convection oven, and built in microwave. We got a discount packing the Subzero/Wolf products together as they’re the same company. For the dishwasher we went with Bosche as they were reccomended by the appliance shop.
I have toyed with the idea of buying a spare microwave. I’m afraid one day the microwave might break and we either won’t be able to find a unit that fits or matches and deal with that headache. The oven and microwave are separate, not an single unit, so I suppose that might give more flexibility with replacements.
Sounds pretty darn exciting. Maybe you might post a picture afterwards, if you’re comfortable?
Electrolux is spotty. A lot of their reliability has gone down in the last few decades, and they've sold off portions of their business to various companies/countries. Thermador is basically Bosch repackaged. Solid. Dacor is Samsung, and Samsung is spotty. I wouldn't touch their fridge or stoves. Washing machines are dependent and opinion varies. We have Samsung a washer and dryer and it's been solid for years, used multiple times a week.
Have you guys decided on toilets yet?

I like the look and power of Wolf. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it very much!
Excuse the grime.

That your current house or your old place in California? I like the drawer/cabiner hardware. Satin or brushed stainless steel? Stainless steel grime is easy to clean. I've been playing with unrefined and refined coconut oil vs the other products you can use. It cleans and polishes well, and leaves a pleasant odor if you use the unrefined stuff. A tiny pea sized amount can polish that entire stovetop.
Are the knobs aftermarket or from Wolf? I'm only familiar with their rubber like textured knobs that are a good bit brighter in color for red. I know they do other shades but I've never seen of that particular one with a gloss coating.

Thank you. It’s brushed and original. I wash with warm soapy water then finish Zep Stainless Clearner and feel it works great.
We sold the Northern California house in the mid-90s. We just closed on the Minnesota house in January as part of our amicable agreement.
This is in Ranch Mirage and up for discussion but looking to be headed for the market too. I just got back but my former wife (and her boyfriend) are out there right now. She’s there to “rest” and train hills and mountains.

I generally like Zep cleaners but the stainless steel didn't work out for us as well as we'd hoped it would. Plus the smell that lingered was strange. The Weiman products work on a few SS surfaces but don't do justice on most surfaces. Some time ago I got frustrated with it and plus oxidation due to cooking particulates that latch onto stainless steel and began using Pledge multisurface after reading it on one of those home blogs. It cleans, restores and prevents fingertips for a few weeks. I tried out the coconut oil after seeing a video on it while surfing Vimeo. I think it's a great option but it does require you to use a soapy formula if there's stuck on bits.
As far as why the coconut works, I imagine it breaks down some proteins. It's very likely you've had fresh jackfruit at one point in your life, and you'll recall people use coconut oil to clean their knives from the sticky mess it creates. I've bought it a couple times and the coconut oil was the only thing to cut through it. Like I said, a little goes a long way. The first time I used it, I scooped out a tablespoon's worth of coconut oil while it was in a solid state. I then spent the next four hours buffing the excess out.
