History also comes to life in over 30 augmented reality stories that can be unlocked at historical locations on Facebook Messenger via QR codes. Take to the streets with the skateboarders at the East Side Gallery, learn about the women who fought for freedom on Alexanderplatz, and join the “Wall-peckers” at the Brandenburg Gate. The stories even bring to life Birgit Kinder’s world-famous mural depicting a Trabant car breaking through the Berlin Wall at the East Side Gallery.

Use your own smartphone or tablet to access the augmented reality stories or borrow equipment free of charge at any of the Infopoints at the festival pavilions. Further information about the Virtual Worlds.

The augmented reality stories were developed and produced by Kulturprojekte Berlin, Facebook and ZDF Digital.
