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.

"Future elementary school and all-day care" program

From the 2026/2027 school year, the legal entitlement for primary school children will come into force, initially for year 1. This will be successively extended to the other grades in the following years. The legal entitlement is intended to guarantee all-day education and childcare for schoolchildren. As a result, the city of Erlangen is obliged to consider how youth welfare services and schools can ensure the legal entitlement, to take appropriate measures and, in particular, to make elementary school "structurally fit" for this.
