Colditz Castle Experience with the HistoPad – an interactive time travel
Colditz Castle rises majestically above the river Zwickauer Mulde in the Leipzig region, an unmistakable relic of the Renaissance. But once inside, it becomes clear that the walls, in which remnants of GDR wallpaper contrast with painted ceilings from the 16th century, have survived many more eras. Join Aileen and Axel on their tour of Colditz Castle in this podcast episode and find out more about its exciting and dark past. Learn about daring escape attempts and its time as a prisoner of war camp, mental institution and hospital. Find out how this lost place comes to life in a very special way with the help of the new HistoPad, an interactive tablet, in this episode of “Welcome to Leipzig”.
