Das Besucherzentrum Welterbe Regensburg (eBook)

Scenography of a visitor center

The Old Town of Regensburg is an outstanding example of a medieval German trading city, and was awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2007. The specially designed World Heritage Visitor Centre Regensburg, which opened in 2011, showcases the urban development of this city, shaped by its economy, resilience, and citizenry, using the latest methods of presentation and communication. The book is the result of a joint initiative between the Visitor Center and FH JOANNEUM University of Applied Sciences in Graz, presenting a best-practice example of exhibition design and scenography. Academic contributions on the topics of 'Visitor Centers' and artistic photographs by Elisa Wüntscher depicting visitors and rare city views create a complementary whole.
