on this subject I will simply talk time the springs ...
"Every house has a private staircase with an elevator. Each floor and the garage is within accessible by elevator."
(FAAG specifications of the purchase agreement for condominiums in Sophienhof)
"barrier-free, structural and other facilities, [...] when disabled people in the usual way, without much of a burden and generally without help accessible and usable. "
(§ 4 Disability Discrimination Act)
"Obviously there are difficulties in the entrance and exits of the building over the garage. This is separate from the staircases and elevators through a 'lock' with two (self-closing) fire doors, which are at a 90 degree angle. Electrical strikes are not present a barrier in the sense of HBO § 36 -. elevators and § 46 -. structural measures for particular groups of people and the definition of accessibility of the BGG § 4 is therefore unfortunately not exist [...] This may be of older or disabled residents, but also of families with a baby carriage as a limitation or discrimination
perceived, especially for this group of people promised property of barrier-free access to the garage was an argument for the purchase of condominiums probably. "
(From an email of the disability officer of the City of Frankfurt to Frank Junker)
too accessible? |
(From an email of FAAG to the author)
"In conclusion that the existing situation, the passage corridors of the elevators to the garage not as accessible as defined in HessBGG still wheelchair as under to refer to the DIN 18025 Part 1. It is neither for disabled humans or otherwise physically handicapped people (eg elderly, people with strollers) in the usual way, without much of a burden and, in principle accessible without outside help and usable. The in the building promised barrier-free accessibility of the underground, despite the elevators not given. "
(From an opinion of an expert in accessible buildings for Sophienhof)
" to the approachable of the doors must be in accordance with aforementioned standards through a 50 cm distance from the wall middle of the door lock to be ensured. [...] However, below is the measure described in the interior of the lock at several doors. "
(From a second opinion of FAAG)
" The urban housing Holding ABG with about 50,000 apartments has committed itself to new buildings with more than two storeys in 2011 lifts installed. The hallways [...] to be suitable for wheelchairs. [...] could not at all be retrofitted old buildings everywhere accessible, "says Junker. He will in some cases look for individual solutions. "
(Frankfurter Rundschau, 08.01.2011)
" It is highly commendable that the ABG will be used for accessibility even in old buildings and 'look for individual solutions' . Little credibility these suggested lead, however, if even in the new buildings of the ABG in places where accessibility has been promised to the actual construction will be evaluated by the disability officer of the city of Frankfurt as anything but accessible. In the ears of a severely disabled roommate with little room to maneuver has to sound the alleged involvement of ABG as pure cynicism. "
(letter to the author in the Frankfurter Rundschau, 01.14.2011)

suggestions welcome So far so good - or should I rather say "bad" ... every picture please own opinion
for disabled people has often been the. quite normal everyday enough hurdles so that they can not also to engage in a protracted legal battle and nerve to enforce their claims on accessibility.
And it affects not only some, a few people: Almost everyone is eventually hindered - whether sooner or later.
So much for today ... The next time a hot topic: the Sophienhof in the summer.
