Experience Report
Implementation of Guiding System
Output3.5.2
The following experience report was planned to describe the successful implementation of a guiding system to Fortress Rosenberg. Due to uncontrollable circumstances concerning an unsolvable conflict within the financing procedure, the project in the midst of realization process, had to be concentrated on a conceptual level.
But nevertheless it was possible to develop a state of the art and forwardlooking concept for a future Multimedia Guiding System (MMG), that not only meets all needs and expectations but exceeded them. Through an extensive and elaborate examination process it was possible to articulate a concept framework.
This concept not only defines content and structure, but also the technical requirements and design. Its structure has been destined to dynamically fit onto every fortress with its individual context.
Based on this concept it will easily be possible to realize the MMG medium term.

Social Media Concept for fortified heritage
Output 3.4.3
Social media allows publicly-managed communications on any topic. Here people talk to each other, publish their opinion directly, are emotionally open, critical and merciless. On social media you will find out what the visitors to your fortress think about the new exhibition, the last concert or coffee in the restaurant.
When you participate in social media actively, you have the opportunity to influence public opinion and to launch new themes and offers related to your fortress. Nevertheless, if you don't handle it correctly, social media carries the risk of destroying a good reputation within minutes, that you may have been building up for years using conventional means.
Therefore, the use of social media to achieve your marketing objectives requires a good strategy and planning, clear rules, a lot of sensitivity and a permanently high human cost.
This social media concept will help you to understand social media and to develop a strategy for dealing with it. It will be published for online.
