Your area - your opinion

We stay in touch with you to further improve our offer. Here's an enthusiastic vote from you and a great statement from Jennifer Haben.

“I am really, really thrilled that all people whether they have a disability or not, can experience the whole festival here. That makes the whole thing even better.”
Jennifer Haben, front woman Beyond the Black

 

„It's my first time at Wacken and I've just been able to crowdsurf for the first time. It was great - mega atmosphere." 
Tine, Metal-Fan

 

MORE QUESTIONS? ANSWERS CAN BE FOUND IN THE FAQ.

Yes, your permanent companion may attend the festival free of charge. If you have the “B” mark on your disabled person's pass, you are entitled to take your permanent companion to the festival free of charge. Register in advance at inclusion@wacken.com to have the companion ticket issued. Or show your ticket and your severely disabled pass with the “B” sign at the band desk on site.

Good to know: You will receive your festival wristband and an extra Wheels of Steel Area wristband upon presentation of your festival ticket, disabled ID and companion ticket on site.

As you know, the festival takes place on a field. Therefore, we cannot guarantee 100% accessibility, as much as we would like to. In the Wheels of Steel area, however, there will definitely be accessible shower/toilet containers and accessible mobile toilets for you.

Another tip: In the sanitary camp S2 we offer you a station for cleaning wheelchairs and rollators. Please make use of this service - especially when the floor is wet - so that the shower drains do not get blocked.

You must have the B, G, aG, H, BL markings on it to be able to book pitches in the Wheels of Steel area.

Alsterarbeit is a cooperation partner of ours that is present in the Wheels of Steel area between 10:00 AM and 10:00 PM with a service point. This is located directly at the main entrance and offers, among other things, repairs and maintenance for assistive devices at cost price, a rental service for wheelchairs and walkers and physiotherapy. 

Camping chairs, tripod, and cardboard stools and self-made aids are not allowed in the Infield. You should register everything else with Alsterarbeit in advance.

Sure, how else are you supposed to transport your medication and aids? However, they must be registered before the festival and checked and labeled at the Alsterarbeit service point after your arrival. A size of 30cm x 20cm x 5cm is specified. If other dimensions are necessary for health reasons, it is best to clarify this directly on site. 

You must have a certificate with you for all medicines that fall under the Narcotics Act.

HOW WE LIVE INCLUSION

The Wheels of Steel area is just one of many examples of inclusion in practice at Wacken Open Air. Find out more about how we tackle this topic as a whole.
