Accessibility
Everyone has a right to inclusive coexistence. Accessibility is therefore an important issue for the RMCC.
Inclusion in social life requires access without barriers and obstacles for all people - with or without disabilities. The planners of the RheinMain CongressCenter (RMCC) have set themselves the goal of implementing this basic right in a service and comfort-oriented manner. This means that not only the guests and visitors benefit from these barrier-free offers, but also the organizers.
"Travel for all" at the RMCC
The RheinMain CongressCenter was certified in summer 2021 according to the criteria of the nationwide labeling system for barrier-free travel offers "Travel for All."
The relevant data on accessibility on site was recorded by an independent surveyor and evaluated by the certification body in Berlin. We are delighted to be able to display the "Accessibility Tested" certificate until 2027.

Blindfolded city model at the RMCC
The blind touch model at the RheinMain CongressCenter complements the existing models in Wiesbaden's city center. It was donated by 13 Lions Clubs, three Leo Clubs and the Hessian Lions District and represents an important contribution to accessibility.
Created by artist Felix Brörken from gold bronze, the 1:650 scale model depicts the area within Friedrichstraße, Frankfurter/Mainzer Straße, and Oranienstraße up to the main train station. The city map, measuring approximately 181 x 123 centimeters, rests on a 75-centimeter-high concrete base that harmonizes with the material of the RMCC surroundings and is designed to be wheelchair accessible.
The model complements the two existing tactile models in Wiesbaden, which depict the "Historical Pentagone" and the Kurhaus ensemble. The result is an expanded, inclusive city map for everyone.
Barrier-free bus stop
Head of Building and Transport Andreas KowolNobody should have to rely on assistance when traveling by bus. Everyone will benefit from the conversion measures, including older people, parents with children and passengers with luggage.
Wiesbaden is becoming more inclusive
The redesign of some bus stops, such as the "RheinMain CongressCenter" stop, is currently being planned.
New, raised kerbs and widened platforms will make it easier to board the bus, even with a wheelchair, baby carriage or walking aid. The state capital is thus setting an important example for inclusion, safety and comfort in everyday life.
