Barrier-free building
Accessibility means that not only buildings and rooms, but also means of transportation, technical devices and means of communication can be found, accessed and used by people with disabilities without difficulty and without outside help. A barrier-free environment enables a largely self-determined life.
Public buildings, software and digital services provided by the public sector must be designed to be accessible in accordance with legal requirements. Private companies, on the other hand, are only obliged to provide accessibility if they employ people with disabilities. Various standards, guidelines and recommendations provide an important planning basis for construction and conversion measures in the private and professional sectors - however, different state building regulations may apply depending on the federal state.
A wide range of funding and advice options help to implement accessibility in the private and professional environment.
