Information on accessibility at the Joseph-von-Fraunhofer-Straße (JvF) location and how to get there

Orientation from the escalators/stairs: walk past the stairs/escalators on the right, along the guiding strip, against the direction of travel of the S-Bahn and orientate yourself along the guiding strip towards the two attention fields located close together. The first attention field leads to the elevator. The second attention field leads to a staircase. Both entrances lead up to the H-Bahn.

At the elevator, select 1 for the H-Bahn. The 0 takes you to the exit of the S-Bahn station on the campus. The elevator buttons have Braille and pyramid writing. There is also a voice output. To get to the building at Joseph-von-Fraunhofer-Straße 23, take the H-Bahn lines 1 and 7 to the left with destination Technologiezentrum. The streetcars are announced on the display board and make noises when they arrive. Get off at the first stop of the H-Bahn (Technologiezentrum stop). The station is also announced. The journey takes about two minutes.

When you arrive at the Technologiezentrum stop, get off the H-Bahn and keep left for the stairs or right for the elevator. The buttons in the elevator at seat height have Braille. The elevator has no voice output. From the elevator, walk around the elevator to the left and then orient yourself as described below.

Once you have reached the bottom of the stairs, continue straight ahead. Walk towards the elevator.

From there, follow the grass verges on the left-hand side.

After approx. 10m you will find the Technologiezentrum bus stop (bus route 465). This is equipped with a guiding strip. Ignore the guiding strip and continue along the grass verge until you come to electricity boxes after approx. 30m. Turn left here and walk uphill along Josef-von- Joseph-von-Fraunhofer-Straße for approx. 500m, past five driveways/exits, until you hear the splashing of a small pond.

When you arrive at Joseph-von- Joseph-von-Fraunhofer-Straße 23, a ramp to the left of the steps leads to the building, the entrance door opens automatically. You then move directly towards the gate. Turn right to get to the elevator and the barrier-free WC.

There is no guidance system for blind and visually impaired people in the building. The gate is manned Monday to Friday from 6:00 to 20:00. It is best to ask for guidance there.
