Discovering the Architectural Heritage of Baden-Württemberg: A Call to Action

Baden-Württemberg, a region rich in history and culture, boasts a diverse architectural heritage that reflects its unique identity. While the LEO-BW portal showcases numerous historical and contemporary images documenting this legacy, there remains a vast array of structures and sites that are yet to be explored. With your help and local knowledge, we can gradually fill in the gaps and celebrate the cultural richness of this beautiful area.

Uncover Hidden Gems in Your Community

Have you stumbled upon an intriguing building during your travels or in your neighborhood? Perhaps it’s a historic factory site, a quaint church that may seem unremarkable at first glance, or a structure that embodies the character of your town. Maybe you’ve noticed an architectural detail that captivates you or a particular cityscape that tells a story. We invite you to contribute to the Baden-Württemberg map by documenting these locations.

How to Contribute: Share Your Discoveries

Participating is simple! Start by pinpointing the location on the BW map and capturing a photograph of the site. Along with your image, write a few lines about what makes this place noteworthy. Share your personal connection to the site or any interesting historical facts that you may know. This initiative is not just about highlighting well-known landmarks; it’s about bringing attention to the seemingly ordinary treasures right in our backyards.

Engage with a Community of Explorers

The app provides a platform for you to share your favorite spots with others and connect with fellow enthusiasts. As contributions grow, we will gradually make these entries accessible through the LEO-BW portal, allowing a wider audience to appreciate the architectural diversity of Baden-Württemberg.

Join the Citizen Science Movement

This initiative operates on the SPOTTERON platform, which is dedicated to Citizen Science. By participating, you not only contribute to a collective understanding of our architectural heritage but also engage in a community-driven project that values local insights.
