App Description

The Berlin Wall divided East and West for 28 years, two months and 28 days. It cut the city in two, ran through buildings, interrupted streets and tore apart families, friends and couples. But where exactly did the Wall run?

The iPhone app 'The Berlin Wall' gives a detailed answer. An interactive map in the app shows the exact location of the Wall. Photos, audio and video clips and texts can be called up for sites of historical importance. The app can be used as an interactive travel guide or as a source of general information.

Functions:

- map showing the location of the Wall and sites of interest

- suggestions for Wall tours

- the optional Discovery Mode tells you when a historical site is nearby

- personalised tours

- directions to find sites of interest

- public transport connections

The app is based on the website chronik-der-mauer.de and is a joint project by the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung, Deutschlandradio and the Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung Potsdam e.V. "The Berlin Wall" was awarded with the "Politikaward 2011", "digita 2012" and the "Comenius-EduMedia-Siegel 2012".

Please note:
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. (This is used for Discovery Mode.)
