People with Disabilities

Inclusion

Erlangen is a city for everyone and has always been “open by tradition.” Inclusion and accessibility are therefore very important, because they are essential for people with disabilities to participate in everyday life in our city.

If you have specific questions or concerns regarding disability and inclusion, there are two resources available to you:

  • The Advisory Service for People with Disabilities provides guidance on specific questions related to disability and assists you with the application process.
  • TheInclusion Officer represents the interests of people with disabilities and advocates for accessibility and inclusion. She also provides guidance on questions regarding accessibility and inclusive measures.

Preparing for Crises and Disasters

Germany is one of the safest countries in the world. Nevertheless, even here there are crises that disrupt the normal course of daily life. Extreme weather events are on the rise. Cyberattacks, disinformation, and sabotage are used to target infrastructure, public opinion, and social cohesion.

Plans and projects

"The Future of Elementary Schools and Full-Day Care" Program

Starting in the 2026–2027 school year, the legal entitlement for elementary school children—initially for first graders—will take effect. This entitlement will be gradually expanded to include subsequent grade levels in the years that follow. The legal entitlement is intended to guarantee full-day educational and care services for schoolchildren. This imposes an obligation on the City of Erlangen to consider how to ensure this legal entitlement through youth services and schools, to take appropriate measures, and, in particular, to make elementary schools “structurally ready” for this purpose.
Plans and projects

Renovation of the Habichtstraße Playground

The playground on Habichtstraße in Alterlangen is set to undergo a major renovation and redesign. New playground equipment and a new landscape design are intended to turn it into an attractive place for children and families to play and spend time.
