Invisible Places App

For the Jewish Museum, we designed the app "Unsichtbare Orte" (Invisible Places) and conceptualized it together with the Jewish Museum Frankfurt. Our focus was on target-group-oriented design and intuitive user guidance.

The app invites users to discover contemporary Jewish history after 1945 in the urban space of Frankfurt – linked to the stories of migrant communities.

The central interface is an interactive map, supplemented by photos, texts, and audio contributions. Thematic access is provided via locations, decades, or community connections. The app is available for iOS and Android and is particularly aimed at young users in an educational context.
