From the Dom/Römer parking garage, you can take the elevator from level -1 directly to the vicinity of the entrance. The Dom/Römer subway station also has an elevator. To reach the entrance of the SCHIRN, there is a paved ramp on the left side of the “Römer” exit of the subway station. This ramp leads around the SCHIRN CAFÉ BY BADIAS. Another way to overcome this slope without steps is the accessible elevator (accessible with a Euro key) at the Stadthaus am Markt. This elevator also leads to the vicinity of the entrance of the SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT. All of our exhibitions are accessible by elevator. The elevator is located on the right side from the entrance. People in wheelchairs can use the elevator easily. The buttons are low, and the elevator announces the current floor. Wheelchairs and buggies can be borrowed at the SCHIRN TICKET COUNTER. We also offer stroller storage at the cloakroom in case you do not want to bring your stroller into the exhibition. To avoid longer waiting times for people with disabilities, there is an information point in the foyer during larger exhibitions. On the day of your visit, feel free to go directly there to get your free ticket for the accompanying person. The staff at the SCHIRN TICKET COUNTER will also assist you with any other questions.
