1. Erding City Museum: Restart of the Permanent Exhibition

The city museum can renew its presentation modularly over the next few years: with clear timelines, media guides, and low-barrier texts in plain language. The goal is a future-proof tour that combines analog objects and digital deep dives, appealing equally to school classes and individual visitors.

• Planned measures: media guide with audio description, tactile models of key buildings, bilingual core labels.
• Benefits: better accessibility, more contextual depth, shorter orientation times per room.

2. "On the Oldest Paths": Guided Evening Walks

Atmospheric evening events along historic alleys and towers provide a fresh perspective on familiar places. Short audio prompts via QR code deliver on-site sound, music, and original research interview clips.

• Format: 60 minutes, small groups, safe route guidance, weatherproof execution.
• Extension: family-friendly version with riddle cards and flashlight stations.

3. Schöner Turm Retold: Micro-Exhibition in Public Space

A weatherproof micro-station directly at the site will soon offer short texts, 3D visualizations on smartphones, and a map of the historic fortifications. Access is provided without an app via web QRs.

• Content: building types explained simply, former functions, current usage possibilities.
• Additional benefit: self-guided route to other tower and wall relics.

4. Schrannenplatz Alive: Market Stories to Take Away

Short audio features and info cards will soon highlight topics such as goods flows, measures and weights, transport, and trade on market days. Children receive age-appropriate "discovery packs" with tasks and mini-experiments.

• Building blocks: mobile listening station, info cards, child-friendly tasks.
• Goal: knowledge transfer without time pressure – at your own pace between two stalls.

5. City Views Digital: Comparison "Then–Now–Tomorrow"

A web-based image comparison will soon make the development of important sightlines visible and supplement them with careful future scenarios (e.g., green corridors, sightlines, monument preservation aspects).

• Functions: slider, layers, short comments from experts.
• Added value: orientation for discussions on city design and the preservation of ensembles.

6. Learning Path "Crises and Cohesion"

A thematic learning path will soon link city stations with moderated tasks for schools, clubs, and families. The focus is on values such as solidarity, responsibility, and civil courage, conveyed through short scenarios and reflection questions.

• Didactics: age-appropriate worksheets, plain language glossary, safe conversation guides.
• Outcome: strengthening historical judgment skills and local identity.

7. Citizens' Archive – Participate and Remember

A permanent participatory format will soon invite people to contribute curated photos, objects, and stories. An editorial team reviews contributions, develops metadata, and publishes selected content with precise image rights and source information.

• Guidelines: transparent criteria, data protection, simple submission processes on-site and online.
• Result: growing, verified collection for education, research, and exhibitions.

8. Experience Craft Today: Open Workshops

Regular workshop visits and demonstrations will soon build bridges between historical trades and modern techniques. Partner businesses open their doors, explain materials, and allow small practical modules.

• Safety: clear rules, protective equipment, short units.
• Documentation: photo and short video series for schools and social media.

9. Remembrance Week: Citywide, Decentralized, Accessible

An annual theme week bundles lectures, quiet places for reflection, readings, and urban space projections. All offerings are designed to be low-barrier; translations and remote participation via livestream are available.

• Program structure: days with a clear focus, short formats, fixed time slots.
• Sensitive framework: moderation, classification, references to support and counseling services.

10. The "Golden Thread" 2.0: Family Rally with Audio Play

The popular rally will soon expand with new episodes, a child-friendly map, optional offline codes, and bonus questions for advanced participants. Accompanying project ideas with time requirements, materials, and learning objectives are being developed for educators.

• Technology: stable QR solutions, data-saving web app, clear route guidance.
• Inclusion: versions in plain language and audio versions of all texts.

This Is How It Becomes Tangible: Organization, Quality, Participation

Quality Standards

• Expert review of content according to museological and monument preservation guidelines.
• Source references, image rights, and comprehensible curator notes per station.

Accessibility

• Multi-sensory: audio, text, tactile elements; high-contrast design and clear guidance paths.
• Low access barriers: no mandatory app, offline-capable alternatives.

Community

• Feedback loops with schools, clubs, and senior groups before rollout.
• Open data, where legally possible, for education and research.
