MauAR - Berlin Wall3.0 - App Store

Official App for the "Fall of the Wall" anniversary

THE WALL STORY CAN ALSO BE EXPERIENCED OUTSIDE OF BERLIN!

The Berlin Wall divided a city for decades. Parts of it have barely survived as a memorial.

MauAR does not want this piece of Berlin history to be forgotten by making the division more tangible. Augmented Reality (AR) makes it possible to take you back in time. Look through the camera of your phone and see the Berlin Wall and its history.

THE APP CAN ALSO BE USED OUTSIDE BERLIN
A part of the wall is shown in the place where you are. Also at home. The best visual result is obtained when there is a lot of space, for example outdoors.

WHERE'S THE FORMER EAST OR WEST?
MauAR shows you whether you are in the former east or west. You can see what the course of the wall was like and what gaps it left behind. Your distance to the wall is displayed so that you can experience it with your own eyes.

UNDERSTAND THE STRUCTURE OF THE WALL IN 3D - AT HOME
Use AR to explain the construction of the wall. Switch between the different construction phases. In the original size of the wall you can virtually cross the death strip and change sides.

SEE THE WALL ON THE SPOT
If you are within sight of the former border strip, you can see the wall in its original course. Standing in front of you. In AR. At the original place.

AR FILM: FOLLOW THE STORIES OF EAST AND WEST
Experience a new form of narration: the AR Film. Follow our two leading actors through the decades of division. Andreas from East Berlin, Johanna from West Berlin. Take part in important moments. For example, you can see how they experienced the construction of the Wall.
