About
Wheelmap is an open-source, community-powered map built on OpenStreetMap data and maintained by the German nonprofit SOZIALHELDEN e.V. Since 2010 it has grown into one of the largest public databases of wheelchair accessibility information in the world, available in 32 languages.
What It Does
Users search by location or category—cafés, toilets, parking, cinemas, bus stops—and filter results by accessibility rating. Anyone can contribute by marking a venue green (fully accessible), orange (partially accessible), or red (not accessible), with no registration required. The open data is freely licensed and used by other accessibility platforms.
Who It Helps
Wheelchair and powerchair users, people using mobility aids, parents with pushchairs, and anyone who needs step-free access when planning everyday outings or travel anywhere in the world.
