General Assessibility
The UNESCO World Heritage Fagus Factory has been designed wheelchair friendly for our visitors, as far as this is possible in a living monument. Unfortunately a complete barrier-free access is not possible due to the structural conditions of the factory as historical industrial building complex.
You will find further information in the below overview:
Access to the UNESCO Visitor Centre
The UNESCO Visitor Centre is accessible via 7 steps. A lift makes a barrier-free access possible.
Access to the model cellar
The access to the model cellar is possible via 10 steps.
Access to the Fagus-Gropius Exhibition
A historical lift connects the different floors of the Fagus-Gropius Exhibition and offers a barrier-free alternative to the stairways. As this is a historical lift, it can only be used with our personnel.
The Fagus-Gropius Exhibition has a historical slatted floor. This floor can only be used to a limited extent with pushchairs, buggies, walkers and wheelchairs.
Free rental wheelchair
In view of the historical slatted floor in the Fagus-Gropius Exhibition, the Fagus Factory offers a wheelchair with extra-wide tires. We reserve this wheelchair for you already before you arrive. This service is free-of-charge for our visitors.
Guided tours
During our tours, stairs with 6-10 steps have to be climbed. We offer a barrier-free guided tour after previous agreement.
Outside area
The outside area of the Fagus Factory is partially cobbled.
Toilets
An accessible toilet is opposite the UNESCO Visitor Centre.
Wardrobe
Barrier-free lockers are in the Fagus-Gropius Exhibition.
Parking places

E-charging station

Seating
Seats are provided in the exhibition areas and outdoors so that relaxing is possible, if necessary. The Fagus-Gropius Café and the UNESCO terrace invite to linger.
