Construction task:
Installation of wheelchair spaces

We are proud to have installed the innovative wheelchair system in practice for the first time. The installed system offers the stadium operator more wheelchair places and more escort places on the same floor space.

The conversion was carried out during ongoing match operations. All services for the project came from a single source, the goal of these seats being fully reversible was met and offers the stadium operator full flexibility at all times. The feedback from the club, guests and institutions is very good.

After the technical planning, the complete construction was pre-assembled in our own halls to ensure an optimal assembly process on site in Frankfurt.

The German Football League (DFL) and its Bundesliga clubs present themselves as inclusive to the public.
However, those in wheelchairs are often left out—because there are far too few seats for people with disabilities in German stadiums.

An excerpt from a Sport Inside film by Matthias Wolf.

This is the next step for successful inclusion in the stadium. I am thrilled with this solution. We can arrange the seats as we need them. I have already seen a similar concept in the USA. The innovation is not only ideal for wheelchair users and escorts. You can also bring a group together in the stands in a completely different way.
