The WDR app comes with more media bonus materials such as “graphic stories” and audio products, but it is also funded by public law. The D-Sir is provided and maintained free of cost by the Stopperstein App Agency.
Like the WDR app, the Stopperstine Deychaland app depends on those committed to those who want to be part of the culture of remembrance and maintain it. For example, heavy contaminated stones can be reported in the WDR app and other stones can be documented to the StallaPastein Deutschland app. Since more than 100,000 obstacles can be found in Germany, the project will continue to welcome your assistance. Otherwise the app is fed via openstreetmap and Wikipedia. When it was launched on 9 November 2022, it was already able to display 20,000 stones in Germany.
