The Berlin Wall vs JMB App

The Berlin Wall separated East and West for 28 years, two months and 28 days. It divided the city, ran through buildings, made streets impassable, tore families, friends and lovers apart. But where exactly did the wall run? The app 'The Berlin Wall' gives a detailed answer. The exact course of the former wall is marked on an interactive map. At historically significant locations between the Brandenburger Tor and Potsdamer Platz, there are photos, audio clips and texts available on the subject. A free data package with further information on places of historical significance throughout Berlin and Potsdam can be downloaded within the app. The app serves as an interactive travel guide on site as well as a general information resource. Functions - Overview map with the course of the wall and points of interest (POIs) - Filter option according to historical locations, escape routes, wall traces, exhibitions and monuments as well as border checkpoints - Recommended tours along the former wall - Navigation to the POIs - Connection to public transport - Film "Eingemauert! Die innerdeutsche Grenze" (in German) The app is based on the website www.chronik-der-mauer.de and is a joint project of the Federal Agency for Civic Education, Deutschlandradio and the Leibniz Center for Contemporary History Potsdam. In November 2011, this app won the most prestigious award in the field of political communication, the ”Politikaward”, and in 2012 it received the educational media prize “digita” and the “Comenius EduMedia” label.
