An app to commemorate people who must never be forgotten.

In conjunction with the "Stolpersteine" art memorial, we would like to digitally support the culture of remembrance of the victims of National Socialism. To this end, we use and compile publicly available data from the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap. The personal stories and fates are thus made directly accessible at the places in Germany where they were written. There were already 20,000 Stolpersteine when the app was launched in November 2022. There are now over 36,000 in 93 cities and municipalities, which we regularly add to.

Stumbling Stones Germany is largely barrier-free and can be used by people with severe visual impairments and limited motor skills. The app was realized by us on our own initiative without taxpayers' money or donations.

The world's largest decentralized memorial: "A person is only forgotten when his name is forgotten," says Gunter Demnig, quoting the Talmud.

To commemorate the victims of the Nazi era, the artist places small brass memorial plaques in the sidewalk in front of their last chosen place of residence or work. Demnig began with the first Stolperstein in 1992 and there are now more than 100,000 in over 1,800 German municipalities and 30 countries. The art project is considered the largest decentralized memorial in the world and focuses attention on the people who were persecuted, murdered, deported or expelled during the Nazi regime.

Free app download for iOS and iPad OS, as well as for Androi devices.

“We go into the forest to find our soul. Or into the kitchen.”

Nelson Müller combines culinary pleasure with nature: the well-known TV and star chef is moving his Michelin-starred restaurant “Schote” to the Mutzbach nature reserve on the outskirts of Cologne. With the opening of the Relais & Châteaux Hotel Diepeschrather Mühle in spring 2025, he will create a destination that goes far beyond culinary delights: an impressive hideaway, sustainable gastronomy, event spaces and cooking school will combine to create a unique overall concept.

The boutique hotel with 25 rooms and suites is “GreenSigns” certified and focuses on sustainability with greenhouses and a herb garden that support the “from farm to table” concept. The ensemble is complemented by a Japanese-style garden, a natural swimming pool and a modern spa. Tables in the “Schote” can already be reserved for January, before the brasserie “Müllers in der Mühle” and the hotel open their doors in spring.

We are delighted to have realized the digital home of Diepeschrather Mühle. In addition to the website, we also developed the logo and corporate design - inspired by Nelson Müller's vision and the special atmosphere of this place.

We wish you a successful opening and continued success, dear Nelson!

The flagship project "LIEBESLEBEN in Leichter Sprache" which we developed with the Federal Center for Health Education, makes important information on sexual health and sexual diversity accessible to people with learning difficulties. It goes far beyond the legal requirements for public providers in terms of scope and manner. On 35 pages and with a set of 150 individually created illustrations, we were able to set a new benchmark for inclusive communication.
