KulturGeschichtsPfade (KGP) EMBARK ON A DIGITAL JOURNEY
The city of Munich is thrilled to announce its collaboration with DPS team, Histourists, to bring the Kulturgeschichtepfad booklets into a digital format. The KindoAPP is changing the way visitors and residents alike discover Munich's rich history and culture.
"I found out about this app through a QR code on a bus stop, and it has changed my experience of Munich's historic trails! It's like stepping into a whole new world," said Lisa Schneider, a happy user who discovered the app by chance and was very excited.
βTraditional cultural paths, while informative, have limitations in terms of interactivity. They are unable to cater to the ever-changing preferences of younger audiences and fail to provide a fully immersive experience,β noted Nadine, Interaction designer of team Histourists.
"We understand the need to adapt to changing times and the use of technology," the city of Munich official, Mark Kent said, "This platform will make history come alive for everyone.β
Histourists' digital platform offers interactive maps, captivating stories, and the option to take the paths alone or to join others.
"I love being a part of the Histourists community. It's amazing to meet new people who share my love of history and culture,β says John Doe, a happy user of the app.
