People with disabilities
Inclusion
Erlangen is a city for everyone and has always been "open by tradition". Inclusion and accessibility are therefore very important, as this is the only way for people with disabilities to participate in everyday life in our city.
If you have specific questions or concerns about disability and inclusion, there are two contact points available:
- The advice center for people with disabilities advises you on specific questions relating to disability and supports you with applications.
- The Inclusion Officer represents the interests of people with disabilities and is committed to accessibility and inclusion. She also advises on issues relating to accessibility and inclusive measures.

If you have a severe disability, you can apply for a severely disabled person's pass. This card entitles you to compensation for disadvantages in various areas of life.
You can apply to the Zentrum Bayern Familie und Soziales in Nuremberg for a disability assessment and a severely disabled person's pass.
