Description
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.

Amazing Very informative, exact and detailed, as well as easy to use. I have recently moved to Berlin, and am very interested in the tragic history of this city. The exact position of the wall was something I couldn't find on my own. Now that I have found this app, I discovered that it ran some 300 meters from where I live. Moreover, it turns out the building my husband works in actually stands where the wall used to run!!! Simply amazing. Thank you so much for this app!

Requests access to all files and media on my phone, then crashes when I refused permission. Why does a map app need access to my files?

Map online Good application but Berlin map is only online mode which is useless while you are in roaming
