Abstract (in English)

The picturesque World Heritage city of Bamberg is the ideal choice for a virtual city model. Visitors can fly through the streets on the computer, admiring the buildings from every angle, zooming in on detail or discovering hidden gardens. Visitors are not only limited to the present but can embark upon an exciting journey into the past because the model is linked with historical maps and images. Users can also travel into the future by adding plans for new buildings, thus facilitating decision-making. This unique model, on which staff members of the city administration have been working for three years, is complete in central areas of the World Heritage site and can be visited from all over the world via Google Earth. It is an impressing innovative tool for imparting the “spirit ” of the World Heritage city of Bamberg both to interested adults and youths.
