Project Goals

  • Why does TheAltstadt exist?

Our aim is to Foster and Preserve the Cultural Heritage of the Medieval cities of Europe through games, distinctive art and storytelling.

  • Who does TheAltstadt help?

Tourists visiting Germany want to take home an authentic, local-made souvenir.

Families and people that enjoy games, have seen or heard about these beautiful Altstädte (old cities) but aren’t too familiar with the history behind them.

  • What can TheAltstadt do?

We enjoy creating the fun experiences where you can enter and explore the heritage of these cities, such as with our Pictorial Maps, Board Games, our Jigsaw Puzzles and our Poster Maps. 

Majestic and Incredible…these two words resonate in our minds while we walk through Germany´s Altstädte observing the old Medieval buildings

A lot of work and time is set forth to the research and the gathering of all the thrilling details of some of Germany´s Altstädte (old city centers)

Combining our love for Art, Cartography and Medieval Architecture, we spend hundreds of hours carefully detailing Pictorial maps, such as the one that you find in this work 📜 📯 🏰 🧩 🎨

Our hope is that when you explore the heritage of these cities, you perceive the magnitude of the history that shaped the walls and foundations of these places, which are unique in the world

Victories and wars, royal families and armies, disasters and celebrations… all of it, imbued in every castle, tower, fort, church and landmark that stands proud to belong to a remarkably marvelous Altstadt
