MAQNIFY Guide
Waldkirch town council
Design and development of a multimedia walking tour of Waldkirch, focusing on organ craftsmanship and history
February to September 2020
Waldkirch is located north-east of Freiburg im Breisgau at the foot of the Kandel mountain. For more than 200 years, the organ town has been known worldwide for its outstanding craftsmanship and is still an international centre for organ building.
MAQNIFY was commissioned to design a digital sound tour in order to expand the tourist offer in Waldkirch and bring organ building closer. The project was initiated by the town of Waldkirch.
Thanks to the innovative and contemporary offer, holiday guests, day travellers and locals can now find out about historical connections and the exciting history of the organ city at any time.
The digital tour leads through the town centre at 16 stations so that it can be explored individually and independently.
The tour of Waldkirch with a thematic focus on "organ building and history" is characterised by its multimedia nature. Images, videos, continuous text, spoken content and audio files with sound samples make the digital tour a special experience.
