Hanse Walk of Fame

Calender Icon 22. September 2026

The ‘Hanse Walk of Fame’ brings the Hanseatic past to life in an innovative way. Over the course of two hours, visitors use their smartphones to discover the city’s historical highlights. Well-known (former) residents share personal stories, a local historian provides the historical context, and augmented reality brings buildings that no longer exist back to life at their original locations. A game featuring Hanseatic coins guides visitors to local businesses.

The project was launched with the support of Interreg Germany-Netherlands and has since been expanded step by step. The Hanze Walk of Fame can now be found in Hattem, Zwolle, Doesburg and Emmerich am Rhein. Each town has its own route: tailor-made, multilingual and featuring local narrators.

If you are interested in implementing the project in your Hanseatic city as well, please send an email to paul@iglow.nl to discuss the possibilities.
