Around the old town
At a total of 16 stations, you can experience on the spot what it once looked like right here. Take the opportunity to share this experience with your family, friends or colleagues. The tour through the town ends at the market square, where you can also enjoy refreshments at the end.
A highlight of the Time Travel app is the 3D reconstruction of the old castle. A model of the former castle was created according to the floor plan of the historical map ‘Pattensen anno Domini 1540’ with a typical appearance at the end of the Middle Ages around 1500 (before its destruction in the Hildesheim Collegiate Feud). Based on this model of Pattensen Castle, a 360-degree panorama was created with an interior view of the castle grounds in all directions.
The app can be used not only to navigate to the individual locations, but also to overlay the current viewpoint with videos and images on site using augmented reality (AR). Here you can also meet some important Pattensen personalities, such as Antonius Corvinus, the guards of the Scharwache or Duchess Elisabeth von Calenberg, who talk about their experiences from Pattensens history.
It is important to the town of Pattensen that the Time Travel route is barrier-free. The app also has offline capability and allows you to download all content to your smartphone or tablet in advance if you want to be independent of mobile internet access when you are there.
We hope you enjoy your journey through time in Pattensen!
