„FreiBuddy“ App. The Real-Life Game about Jewish Life in Freiburg

The app offers users an interactive augmented reality tour of Freiburg. Three routes and encounters with fictional and real characters offer a variety of insights into the historical and present day Jewish life in Freiburg. In this way, 'FreiBuddy' encourages reflection on the concept of coexistence in urban society. The app is the result of a participatory project funded by the Erinnerung, Verantwortung, Zukunft (EVZ) foundation.

‘FreiBuddy’ is aimed at groups, young people and school classes as well as anyone aged 14 and over who is interested in Jewish life in Freiburg and augmented reality. The app is available with low-barrier elements and in German and English and can be downloaded free of charge from the usual stores. An access code is required to use the app, which interested parties can request by emailing dzns@freiburg.de.
