Living together with minorities reveals the open-mindedness of a city – in recent years Berlin committed itself to the integration of disabled people. That's why train stations and busses are equipped with barrier free access for wheelchairs, new public establishments such as cinemas, theatres or shopping malls were built to grant easy access to all areas. Handicapped people developed their own projects, such as theatre groups, cafés, clubs and various self-help groups, which offer help and administration for disabled as well as non-disabled people.

Information about institutions in Berlin are listed in the data base "Mobidat". Here theatres, sights and museums are valued in regard on their usability for wheel chairs. Please note that the data base is in German.
