Accessible for all
The Stuttgart Christmas Market sees itself as a place for everyone. Accordingly, the event is regularly reviewed for possible improvements and adapted if necessary. Visiting the Christmas market is easily possible for wheelchair users.
Directly adjacent to the Christmas market you will find parking spaces for people in wheelchairs or with an authorization card in:
- Bolzstraße (near Schlossplatz)
- Dorotheenstraße (near Schillerplatz and Karlsplatz)
- Eberhardstraße, Nadlerstraße, Breite Straße (near Marktplatz)
There is also a location for the wheelchair cab in Dorotheenstraße. Due to its central location, Stuttgart's main railway station is close by and good accessibility by public transport is guaranteed at all times.
The Stuttgart Christmas Market offers barrier-free access for wheelchair users and people with disabilities from almost all sides. Almost all paths are paved and therefore easily accessible.
Toilets for people with disabilities are located
- in Stiftstraße
- at Stauffenbergplatz
- at Pierre-Pflimlin-Platz
Many people take the use of public toilets for granted. However, people with severe and multiple disabilities who are dependent on diapers or cannot use a “traditional” toilet, people with limited mobility and families with small children have special needs.
The “toilet for all” concept aims to ensure that everyone can use the “quiet room”.
To make this possible, you need a large room with enough space for an adult care couch and a patient hoist for transferring from the wheelchair to the couch or toilet. A hygienic diaper pail is also essential.
Until now, such equipment has unfortunately not usually been available at events - this is now changing at the Stuttgart Christmas market.
The “Toilet for all” will be in use at the Christmas market for the first time in 2024. It will help to make the city's events more inclusive step by step.
