The Berlin Wall is back

The Berlin Wall was a concrete barrier built by the German Democratic Republic that completely enclosed the city of West Berlin, separating it from East Germany including East Berlin. The wall fell in 1989, but is now back in it’s original environmental context in Berlin with the Berliner Mauer layer.

Two German layer developers, Hoppala and Superimpose, developed this layer, which is an amazing showcase of the 3D capabilities and relevancy of our platform when it comes to putting back history in it's original context. The Berliner Mauer layer includes guard towers placed along large concrete walls, which circumscribed a wide area.

Follow the former border line from Brandenburg gate and experience german history at an historical place – right in the middle of germanys capital.

Check out this cool layer when you're in Berlin. Go to the Brandenburg gate, open the Berlin Wall layer and see how the fallen Berlin Wall comes back to life.

  1. More inspiration for History related AR:
    Would History disappear if we can see the past via AR?

  3. Briljant idee en prachtig uitgevoerd. Gaat menig middelbare school Berlijnreis verrijken.

  4. I tried it, it's really nice, worked not perfect, but one can guess the great potential of AR.

  5. Is there any video of this up anywhere? I'm curious to see how it actually operates. The pictures look nice.
