Reopens: The display "Belle Wi" returns for public viewing
The Office for Social Work's model exhibition, located in Wiesbaden's Schlossplatz 6, presents a comprehensive approach to comfortable and barrier-free housing. This exhibition, open on Tuesdays from 2 PM to 6 PM and on Thursdays from 1 PM to 5 PM, showcases practical solutions including the installation of assistive devices, technical products, and renovation measures tailored to support accessible living.
Key solutions typically include:
- Assistive Devices: Wheelchair ramps and advanced hearing aid systems are among the assistive devices displayed, aimed at improving mobility and communication within the home environment.
- Technical Products: Tactile signage for visually impaired individuals, adaptable lighting systems, and smart home technologies are some of the technical products on display, designed to enhance independence and safety.
- Renovation Measures: The exhibition focuses on removing architectural barriers, such as widening doorways, installing grab bars, non-slip flooring, and accessible bathroom fixtures that comply with accessibility standards. These adaptations aim to transform existing housing into comfortable, safe, and barrier-free living spaces.
The exhibition also provides resources like databases and guides, such as the Westchester County’s Accessible Apartment Building Guide, to help individuals find housing rated for accessibility and provide information about fair housing laws and necessary improvements. The Office for Social Work acts as a clearinghouse, offering support and information related to social services, transportation, and legal aspects to facilitate barrier-free housing.
This comprehensive approach addresses independent living, supporting choices and autonomy consistent with rights frameworks such as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, focusing on inclusion in the community and equal access to housing and support services.
Registration for the free tour of the model exhibition is required only for groups. For more information, citizens can direct their questions to the relevant department or office, or contact the Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden at [email protected].

The model exhibition does not require payment for entry or the tour, and covers approximately 200 square meters of practical solutions for comfortable and barrier-free housing.
- Visitors to the model exhibition can expect to find a variety of resources, including the Westchester County’s Accessible Apartment Building Guide, which provides information about fair housing laws and necessary improvements, resulting in a focus on accessible and inclusive living options that align with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
- The exhibition doesn't only showcase practical solutions for barrier-free housing such as assistive devices, technical products, and renovation measures, but also extends to lifestyle enhancing areas, such as fashion-and-beauty and home-and-garden, aiming to ensure a comfortable, stylish, and accessible living environment.
