The history app for science in Berlin. A historical journey.
It was there that the Kaiser Wilhelm Society (KWG), founded in 1911 and which later became the Max Planck Society in 1948, established its first institutes. For the biochemist Adolf Butenandt, Dahlem was even “the heaven of science.” He was not the only one whose work was honored with a Nobel Prize.

DahlemTour Berlin Audioguide App
An app offers an audio tour, illustrated with historical images, about people whose discoveries changed the world. A GPS-guided map leads to ten stops that can be fully explored in a two-hour walk.
Those with less time can shorten the tour as desired or visit only specific stops.
With their castle-like architecture, the historic science buildings give no hint that, at the time of their construction, they housed high-tech laboratories by the standards of the day. They served highly specialized research in pioneering fields such as genetics, physical chemistry, and atomic physics.
