Some castles are history. Others are experiences.

Every good castle has a ghost.

So the Wilhelmsburg

   a33_01_konsum_1664441939409

was once a really dark place.

   b08_bild2_1666430629219 b10_bild1_1666430629220 b15_bild1_1666430629224 b15_bild2_1666430629224

It has lived through a turbulent nineteenth century,

it has been a home

for refugees and people forced to work for the nazi regime.

Lots of dark stuff

   b08_bild4_1666430629220 b10_bild2_1666430629220

– and that is why the ghost of the castle, the wilhelmsbear,

   a33_04_konsum_1664441939410

is now really depressed.

   b05_bild3_1666430629215 b06_bild2_1666430629216

Seriously. He has major anxiety issues.

   b07_bild1_1666430629217

And only you can help him.

Let’s rock that energy

But don’t be fooled. This is not for the faint-hearted. You need to get physically active in order to download the full gaming experience in front of the castle. As there is no internet, we thought we’d do your health a little favor and let you create the internet on your own. By using your muscle power, generating energy like a real sustainable zero carbon power house! Don’t worry, even your mom can do it.

The greatest thing about it? Your efforts won’t be forgotten! All the audio material and photos you created during your quest may be uploaded into a community cloud. Voices and pictures from all nationalities and backgrounds will form a lasting testimonial of positive energy, finally transforming the castle into a good place for the future. Of course - it’s up to you to participate or keep your stuff private.
