About

The Erika-Fuchs-Haus – Museum for Comic and Language Art in the town of Schwarzenbach an der Saale and the CGL are aiming to merge museum, town and history with a game in the form of an innovative augmented reality application (AR application). In the first part of the research collaboration, they have jointly developed a concept.

Visitors are sent on a journey to the world-famous Duckburg in Schwarzenbach an der Saale. The digital hybrid application will not only bring the town’s history to life, but also has the potential to reach new target groups and extend the museum into the surrounding area and into the digital world in an exciting way. Visitors can discover the city as the embodiment of Duckburg on the one hand and the historical and current urban space as a source of inspiration for Erika Fuchs and the fictional comic universe on the other. This is a project idea that represents a groundbreaking opportunity to enrich the cultural landscape of the region and to once again profile the museum as a future-oriented and open place that builds bridges into the living environments of visitors with its offerings, welcoming them not only within the exhibition, but also at selected locations in the town of Schwarzenbach.
