A heartfelt thank you goes to everyone who contributed to the creation of the "wittenwalk" app. This co-creation approach – with ideas and feedback from the Wittenberg community and the ethics course of class 9b at the Hundertwasser-Gymnasium flowing into the development process – made this project something truly special.
Thanks to an agile way of working, with teams collaborating flexibly in short development cycles, we were able to continuously adapt and improve the app. The result is a lively, interactive app that makes Wittenberg's history tangible in a modern way.
