Inclusion at the Olympiastadion Berlin

31.08.2023

Accessibility redefined – Olympiastadion Berlin sets new standards for EURO 2024.

Inclusion 2.0 – Innovation at a historic site

Just in time for UEFA EURO 2024, Berlin’s Olympiastadion has been modernized – with a significant contribution from goracon.

With our innovative rail system, we have significantly improved on-site inclusion and greatly increased capacity for people with disabilities. The number of wheelchair spaces has been boosted by nearly 55%. Additionally, the newly created seats offer flexible use – accommodating both walker users and guests without impairments.

A key challenge was ensuring a heritage-sensitive implementation. The rails were precisely embedded into the historic natural stone, seamlessly blending into the overall aesthetic. Despite ongoing stadium operations, the project was completed on schedule.

goracon managed the entire process – from planning to installation – making a significant contribution to improved accessibility at this iconic sports venue.
