Experience the Green Belt in a new way.

The Green Belt is a strip of extraordinary biotopes, 50 to 200 metres wide and around 1,400 kilometres long, stretching from Travemünde on the Baltic Sea to the border triangle near Hof – the former inner-German border strip. With the exception of the high mountains, it connects all typical German landscapes: from the Baltic Sea coast across the North German Plain to the low mountain ranges.

Along 10 routes now along the former inner-German border, the history of places can be experienced exactly where it took place.

The Grenzwandler tells stories of the division of Germany using archives, eyewitness accounts, animated videos and immersive media. Each tour is unique and a standalone documentary format.
Whilst the content is location-specific and can only be played on-site, the stories can be explored here in short form as scrollytelling formats. To do so, click on one of the pins on the map.
