About The Berlin Wall
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 app 'The Berlin Wall' gives a detailed answer. An interactive map in the app shows the exact location of the Wall. Photos, audio clips and texts about the respective site are stored at historically important locations between the Brandenburg Gate and Potsdam Square. A free data package with more information on historically important sites throughout Berlin and Potsdam can be downloaded in the app. The app serves both as an interactive travel guide on the spot and as a general source of information.
Functions:
- map showing the location of the Wall and sites of interest
- suggestions for Wall tours
- filtering option for historical sites, escapes, traces of the Wall, exhibitions, memorials and border crossings
- 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: The app requires the authorization for storing data (additional tours and downloaded POI data packages).

Loads of information and suggested tours but difficult to follow the route as there are no google map style directions. Probably would have been easier if I had data available.

As if it wasn't enough (positively) the map shows accurately where the wall stood plus the no man's land... interesting pics and facts

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!

It asked me for permission to see my files and photos. When denied, it crashed.I see no legitimate reason for this app to get that permission
