All that matters.
On one map.
The KontextMaps platform enables visual knowledge management with interactive knowledge maps. They provide orientation, an overview and details, even for complex topics. Immerse yourself, discover and understand.
Overview and depth.
Good decisions require an understanding of the context and the details.
KontextMaps show both.
Create digital knowledge pools with Kontextmaps that combine contexts, overview and detailed knowledge.
For diving in, discovering and understanding.
Structure your topic on the digital KontextMaps whiteboard, adapt the design according to your ideas, distribute all relevant aspects on layers and easily add content (text and multimedia). Then share the result as an interactive knowledge map.
In your live map, visitors can then dive from the overview into the details, visually explore the connections and delve into the content for each aspect. Show everything that is important! With a wow effect! A digital product that is fun and invites you to explore even complex topics.
Overview, contexts and details: everything that is important to make knowledge productive, on just one map.
Communicating knowledge better
- Bird and frog perspective. KontextMaps show the connections visually. And the details are just a click away.
- Deep dive with multilayers! Multi-layered issues have more than one level. You can literally experience this in the knowledge maps.
- You can even convey large amounts of content in a very small space. Entire textbooks fit into one map.
- Saving time in knowledge transfer. Fewer training documents, fewer seminars – everything clearly laid out on a map.
- Break down silo thinking: Whether internal or external. Show all aspects of a topic and pick up everyone where their level of knowledge is.
- Intuitively explore knowledge and playfully discover it as it is: nonlinear and interconnected.
- Addons that are important for successful knowledge projects: Glossary, table of contents, search, user guidance, tracking, design, multimedia support.
- Platform independent in all browsers.
Easy to create and manage
- The KontextMaps editor combines a digital whiteboard with a web publishing system and thus combines the advantages of both worlds.
- Implement individual design according to your own ideas or CI/CD requirements.
- Simultaneously create the knowledge map with all team members in the KontextMaps editor.
- Create templates for objects or whole maps: for good, fast results.
- Integrated media management fully automatically optimises the conversion of media.
- Articles, videos, pictures, glossary, list of sources: Add and manage all content quickly and easily on the map.
- Publishing the KontextMap is easy: ContextMap URL, embedded with embed code or via CNAME.
- GDPR-compliant data management and playout.
- Data protection-compliant usage analyses provide insight into the reading behaviour of users.
- As a SaaS solution, you will receive ongoing technical enhancements and adaptations.
All in One: KontextMaps combine the advantages of digital whiteboards, content management systems and simple, multimedia publishing in just one platform.
Just like with mind maps or whiteboard tools, you structure a topic on a digital drawing surface.
Made for:
Consultants work with structuring tools almost every day. Whether on whiteboards with Post-Its, by means of digital solutions or on flipcharts. One problem remains: How to capture results and share them professionally. With KontextMaps, you easily communicate outcomes from workshops, analyses, recommendations, and processes throughout your workflow. So that the next steps are clear, the why is clear and the new is accepted.

Legal topics are interconnected. Legal texts, references, current case law, prevailing opinion and best practice - everything has to be considered. The easiest way to do this is with a visual overview. And in it: the details, links to the relevant texts, examples and additional documents, etc.. This makes it much easier to keep track of complex situations and make good decisions.

Science communication is a field of its own - of course you want to show your research in as much detail as possible, so much is important after all. But for the general public, some topics are often simply too complex. KontextMaps are the solution for this. Structure your topic according to main areas and sub-areas. Just let the readers dive in as deep as they want. The more precisely someone wants to know, the deeper you invite them to explore. A whole textbook fits into one Kontextmap. Easily.

Onboarding new employees eats up resources. The solution: give them a KontextMap with the crucial information. To get started or as a reference book. Thanks to the networked presentation, you show how processes are interrelated and the "newcomers" can dive in playfully to acquire exactly the knowledge they need at the moment. The maps replace seminars and turn barren text deserts into an interactive journey of discovery.

KontextMaps' journey began with the online magazine Der Kontext. We ourselves wanted to show complex issues of socio-political current affairs in the best possible way and from multiple perspectives. No sooner said than done. The fact that we ultimately even offer the software to create it was not planned this way. But your luck! You can now also use it to publish your expertise in the form of knowledge maps. Particularly suitable for complex issues where many aspects are important.

The future of knowledge transfer is digital, interactive and takes into account the individual needs and interests of the addressees in terms of breadth and depth. With KontextMaps, we have found a globally unique solution thanks to which we can address some of the most challenging problems of contemporary communication and issue-specific empowerment. And with Kontextlab, we have an innovative and reliable partner who listens to us and allows our needs and wishes to flow into further development. We and our customers are thrilled!
Exceptional! We use KontextMaps to ensure that our clients understand the crucial contexts. The knowledge maps show the overview AND go into depth. This combination creates real added value - for the users of the maps when discovering, our customers, who can grasp a lot of information faster and better, as well as for us, as we can map and communicate the structure of the topics directly!
KontextMaps allows us to guide our users digitally and interactively through the complexities of the financial world of our university. Our users receive orientation at a glance and from their individual perspective.
We live in complex times and we have to identify the context we are working in. One of the best way to see how challenges are interconnected is to visualise them. Therefore, we worked with the team of Kontextlab on an extensive mapping of the 5G Technology: from the political and regulatory context to the likely effects on business, health concerns and cybersecurity, from broad overview to details, interviews with experts and explanatory graphics. We were impressed and inspired by the professionalism and creativity of the Kontextlab’s team and their amazing way to present the complexity of a topic.
With our Media Map, we want to present the entire diversity of the Bavarian media landscape clearly and at a glance. In order to provide a structured overview of actors, institutions, events, funding, training institutions and facts & figures, we decided to use the Kontextlab software. With the help of the knowledge map, we can systematically relate individual areas to each other in a simple and innovative way that makes the reader want to discover the diversity of the Bavarian media landscape and delve deeper into the topic.
Working with the founders of "Der Kontext" and "Kontextlab" is a pure pleasure. Smart people who, together with their colleagues, develop smart solutions to keep track of an abundance of knowledge and dive into the depths at any time to acquire detailed knowledge - and zoom out again for an overview: this is an offer in which the electronic medium can play to its full strengths. This also applies to our content on training in all health professions.
I see enormous potential in these interactive theme cards for the entire education sector! We are pleased to have found an ideal partner in "Kontextlab GmbH" to offer innovative knowledge acquisition based on individual learning requirements for school-relevant topics. The Education Group as an expert for innovative-creative solutions at the interface of pedagogy, technology and media will thus further enrich the educational landscape in Austria!
The opportunities for parent representatives to participate in Bavarian schools are manifold. The parent councils have contact with different groups of people in their work and can contribute to a wide range of topics. The presentation of these networked and branched fields of activity succeeds in an ingeniously simple way on the website www.elternmitwirkung.bayern via the topic maps of KontextLab. The entry into the topic by the user of the map is possible intuitively. The design and administration are easy to implement for the provider.
Our aim was to present complex thematic worlds of our agricultural organisation in their diversity and characteristics in a way that is in keeping with the spirit of the times and entertaining. Large contexts are easiest to explain, understand and ultimately grasp in small steps. For this reason, we have chosen "Kontextlab".
I was delighted to get a presentation of the online platform for Mapping of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) interactive visualizations that Julia, Erich and Bernhard developed for the Perception Change Project (PCP).
For the first edition of Q Berlin Questions, a conference initiated by the city of Berlin, we collaborated with Kontextlab and built a map for the announcement and documentation of the event. In this way, we were able to visualise and constantly expand the complexity and ramification of our topics on the website. Julia and Bernhard were fun to work with and we were delighted to have them on board for our first Q.
