Learning Playfully, Wondering Together
The focus is on a child-friendly discovery tour: The figure of the Linen Weaver comes to life in the smartphone rally and guides families through tasks that connect curiosity, orientation, and knowledge about city history. This creates a genuine family experience with learning fun, shared time, and many little aha moments.

Ages Appropriate and Well-Planed for Families
The event is aimed at families with children aged 6 and older. After a short introduction to the app, participants continue independently. This ensures a clear schedule, good overview, and relaxed participation even for younger siblings who will accompany their parents during the city rally.

A Place with History in the Heart of Bielefeld
The meeting point at the Linen Weaver Monument is located in a historic area of the Old Town, right behind the Nicolaikirche. The Old Town Church Square is one of the well-known historical sites in Bielefeld and is well integrated into the city center. For families, this means: short distances, an urban environment, and a lot of city feeling in a confined space.

Reliable Educational Quality from the VHS
The organizer is the Bielefeld Adult Education Center (VHS), which, according to its own claims, stands for certified quality according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and builds a diverse educational offering for the city. The rally itself is also a collaborative project of the Natural History Museum, the Huelsmann Museum, the Historical Museum, the City Library, and the VHS, supported by the Bielefeld Citizens' Foundation. This enhances the educational value and trustworthiness of the offer. ([vhs-bielefeld.de](https://www.vhs-bielefeld.de/))
