The map, which is over 2 metres in size, uses markers from the areas of agriculture, settlement, religion and crafts to show the local traces of the Altenberg Cistercian monks in Odenthal and their sphere of influence in the greater Cologne area.
With the Cisterscapes app, you can experience the model interactively
and in three dimensions. Augmented reality brings the
most important Cistercian buildings on site to life, above all
the Altenberg Cathedral! Virtual info points provide
interesting information about the 35 markers distributed across the map.
In the app, you can also learn more about the European
heritage of the 16 other Cistercian monastery landscapes in
a total of five European countries.
