Berlin bewegt sich – Digital platform for sports and fitness activities
Berlin bewegt sich is a digital platform that lists free exercise opportunities in all of Berlin's districts. makandra redesigned the front end and made user-focused improvements.
Berlin bewegt sich was developed on behalf of the State of Berlin to digitize health promotion and prevention efforts. The goal of the project is to promote and transparently organize physical activity programs in Berlin.
makandra made several changes to the existing platform. The map and the exercise calendar were merged, and key elements in the frontend were rearranged. In addition, makandra took over hosting and email distribution.

Key Challenges
The goal of the relaunch was to transition the existing application into a legally compliant and user-friendly production environment.
- Strict compliance requirements
The platform had to be brought into compliance with strict accessibility requirements (BITV 2.0), data protection guidelines (GDPR), and the corporate design of the State of Berlin. - Limited user-friendliness
The existing frontend UI/UX made it difficult for both citizens to find services and for organizations to maintain data. - Technical Modernization
To future-proof the system, existing technical debt had to be reduced and test coverage expanded. This required comprehensive upgrades to core dependencies, as well as the resolution of vulnerabilities and the adjustment of the CSP configuration.
Our solution for Berlin bewegt sich
makandra modernized the frontend user interfaces to improve usability for citizens and organizations. Particular emphasis was placed on intuitively integrating search functions with visual presentation.
Rearrangement of Core Function
To keep entry barriers as low as possible for citizens, makandra made targeted adjustments to the platform’s core features and reorganized them. This allows users to navigate the platform quickly and intuitively. In addition, the “Activity Map” and “Activity Calendar” features, which were previously available separately, have been combined into a single, clear overview.
Modern design in line with Berlin standards
The front-end design has been slightly revised in strict accordance with the City of Berlin’s corporate identity to create a consistent and modern user experience. This visual redesign not only gives the platform a more contemporary look but also strengthens citizens’ confidence in the city’s accessible digital services.
Our collaboration is characterized by highly productive and friendly communication. makandra responds quickly to issues and finds solutions.
