Accessibility

By car:

There are various parking spaces for people who use wheelchairs:

By taxi:

Taxis can stop in front of the entrance to the ACUD cultural center.

By public transport (BVG):

   • take the U8 to U-Bahnhof Rosenthaler Platz (462 m distance)
   • take the tram 12, Bus M8 or Night Bus N8 to Brunnenstraße/Invalidenstraße (163 m distance).

You can find a map under "Location and Directions".

The video shows the way from the tram station to ACUD:

Lettrétage is a venue for events. We use the STUDIO at the ACUD cultural center at Veteranenstraße 21 in 10119 Berlin-Mitte.

This is ho you get to the STUDIO

Up the stairs:

You can reach the STUDIO via an inner courtyard. On the left, a staircase leads directly to the first floor. The event room is to the right of the staircase.

By elevator:

The elevator is located directly behind the courtyard entrance on the left-hand side. The elevator door is 90 cm wide. Take the elevator to the 1st floor. There, a covered balcony corridor leads straight to the STUDIO. The balcony is 145 cm wide. The balcony door to the STUDIO does not have a push-button opener, but is usually open during events. If not, wheelchair users are asked to knock. The staff can hear and see people in this area.

In the STUDIO

There are two areas in the STUDIO:
   • Stage (the stage is 24 cm high; there is no ramp)
   • Visitors' area (the tables and chairs are movable)

We can flexibly arrange seating for wheelchair users.
At the entrance, there is a bar counter (127 cm high) with bar stools (78 cm high) on the left, and an area with upholstered benches (70 cm high) across from it. Next to the STUDIO is a covered balcony walkway (97 cm wide) that can be used during breaks. There are no steps, and the balcony door is 103 cm wide.

Accessible restroom

The restroom is wheelchair accessible. It is located on the same floor as the STUDIO, on the other side of the stairs. It can be reached from the STUDIO without steps.

Lettrétage offers rooms for events. We do not organize the program ourselves. We are visited by people from the literary world who plan events and hold them at our venue. Some events charge admission, others do not. This means that accessibility also depends on the organizers' plans. Specific information on accessibility for individual events can be found in the program. It also states whether the event charges admission.

This accessibility statement applies to the website www.lettretage.de. It was created on March 7, 2026. The assessment is based on our own evaluation.

Lettrétage e. V. aims to make its website as accessible as possible. To this end, we adhere to the guidelines set forth in BITV 2.0 and EN 301 549. BITV 2.0 is the Accessible Information Technology Ordinance applicable in Germany. EN 301 549 is an EU standard containing the most important guidelines for web accessibility.

1. Technical requirements

Some elements of this website are not (yet) accessible. As a result, the website is only partially compliant with the technical requirements of BITV 2.0 and EN 301 549.

2. What isn't accessible, and why?

• Alternative texts for graphics
  Reason: Alternative text is still missing for some images and control elements.
  Solution: The alt text will be added gradually.
• Keyboard usability
  Reason: A few interactive elements are difficult to operate using the keyboard.
  Solution: The general controls work.
• Forms
  Reason: There are some third-party forms. Not all labels on these forms are unambiguous. Some error messages cannot be displayed correctly by assistive software.
• Documents
  Reason: Older PDF files are not fully accessible.
  Solution: New PDF files will be designed to be accessible.
• Easy language & sign language
  Reason: There is no information available in easy-to-read language or German Sign Language.
  Solution: Information in easy-to-read language and German Sign Language will be added gradually.

Since 2018, Lettrétage has been collaborating regularly with literary creators from the Deaf community. We carry out literary projects in German Sign Language and spoken language. In 2023, a workshop conference was held for Deaf and hearing literary creators, which resulted in the creation of an anti-discriminatory guide. Questions for collaboration between Deaf and hearing people include: What do organizers need to consider when inviting Deaf authors? What helps and what doesn't? How can you attract a Deaf audience and make Deaf people feel welcome at your event? How does Deaf advertising work? Who can translate spoken language literature into German Sign Language and vice versa?

You will soon be able to download the guidelines here

Completed projects with Deaf artists in DGS (selection):
   • Fluide Glossare
   • TextKörper – KörperText
   • Sprachkunst in der Tauben Gemeinschaft

We are also interested in collaborating with other communities. Please send an email to Katharina Deloglu if you are interested: kd@lettretage.de
