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.

Advice for people with disabilities provides an initial overview of personal and social law issues. We advise on all matters relating to disability and provide support with applications.
