Résumé en anglais
The picturesque World Heritage city of Bamberg is theideal 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 journeyinto the past because the model is linked with historical maps and
images. Users can also travel into the future by adding plans for newbuildings, thus facilitating decision-making.
This unique model, on which staff members of the cityadministration have been working for three years, is complete in
central areas of the World Heritage site and can be visited from allover the world via Google Earth. It is an impressing innovative tool
for imparting the “spirit ” of the World Heritage city of Bambergboth to interested adults and youths.
