Dresden Accessibility Data for Leisure, Tourism, and Cultural Entrances

Dresden's Infoportal Accessibility provides detailed information on public facilities regarding barrier-free access, toilets, technical aids, and special services for people with disabilities. The data is available in three languages (German, Czech, and English) and is published via a WFS service. Most records were collected through an INTERREG-funded project focused on the Bohemian-Saxon border area.

Use Cases

• Map accessible tourism destinations based on recorded barrier-free facilities.
• Analyze the distribution of technical aids for disabilities across cultural venues.
• Identify gaps in accessibility services for leisure locations based on user-submitted data.
• Develop multilingual accessibility guides for visitors based on the detailed facility information.

Strengths

• Information is available in three languages (DE, CS, EN).
• Data collection includes on-site verification for user-submitted entries.
• Covers multiple accessibility dimensions: entrances, toilets, and technical aids.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified despite a listed update date of 2026-01-07.
