Starnberg has been participating in the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior's model project “The Barrier-Free Municipality” since 2015. The city's inclusion advisory board, which was newly founded in October last year, plays an important role in this.
Accessibility is a human right according to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which has been in force for 15 years. “We want to raise awareness that disabilities can have many faces,” says advisory board spokeswoman Eva Maria Lischka.
