Adenauer - an interactive browser game

To mark the 150th anniversary of Konrad Adenauer's birth, CRISP has  developed a browser game on behalf of the Adenauer-Foundation, which allows players to engage in conversation with Germany's first chancellor - interactively exploring Germany's post-war history. The game begins in a classic point-and-click format, in which players search for important documents and clues in historical settings. They then step into Adenauer's shoes themselves - negotiating, deciding and sealing Germany's fate. 

Project Goals

The interactive format allows young adults to expand their knowledge of Konrad Adenauer und the post- war periodt in a playful way and to understand hostorical decisions. As players slip into the role of Adenauer in press conferences and negotiations, the project helps to sharpen their analytical skills and critical reflection.

Target Group(s)

The game's target group are young adults, ranging from ages 14 to 25, who are interested in politics and history.

Planned Outcomes/Achievements

The project aims to contribute to a more in-depth examination of Konrad Adenauer and Germany's post-war reconstruction within the framework of political education. Young adults gain a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that played a role in Germany's development in the 1950s. At the same time, they learn how to work with historical sources and then apply their knowledge in practice.
