🚻©InklusionWC – Mobile accessibility for all
(formerly "Toilet for All")
Fig. 1: Example view of the planned exterior design of the ©InklusionWC, showing the extended access ramp and potential sponsor areas.
Accessibility must not stop at the lack of a suitable toilet.
The ©InklusionWC project—originally known as "Toilet for All" (*Toilette für alle*)—aims to enable people with disabilities to use restroom facilities with dignity, safety, and the greatest possible degree of autonomy, even in locations where no permanently equipped accessible facility exists.
Our goal is to acquire a mobile, specially equipped accessible toilet unit mounted on a trailer, which can be used flexibly at events and other suitable locations. By using the name ©InklusionWC, we want to make it clear that this is about more than just an ordinary portable toilet: it is a sanitation solution designed to enable social participation for people with high support or care needs.
Why "©InklusionWC"?
There are already many accessible toilets in Germany. However, they are not always sufficient to allow all people with disabilities to use them—whether independently or with assistance.
People with severe or multiple disabilities, in particular, often face additional hurdles:
-
There is insufficient space for a necessary accompanying person or caregiver.
-
Changing tables or care beds for children, adolescents, or adults are rarely available.
-
Hoist systems for safe transfers between a wheelchair, a care bed, and the toilet are often missing.
-
Many facilities are not designed to accommodate higher levels of care and support needs.
For the individuals affected and their families, this can mean that outings, events, restaurant visits, or other leisure activities are severely restricted or impossible altogether—simply because a suitable toilet is lacking.
This is precisely where the ©InklusionWC comes in: it aims to foster greater dignity, safety, and equal participation.
Why this step is so important:
An ©InklusionWC is far more than just a mobile toilet. It creates the conditions that allow people with diverse needs to participate in social life for longer, more safely, and with greater autonomy.
-
👵 Seniors: Barrier-free and easily accessible sanitary facilities enable greater safety and independence in everyday life.
-
♿ People with disabilities: Individuals with high support or care needs often require more space, a care cot, or a hoist system just to be able to use a toilet.
-
👨👩👧 Families and caregivers: Outings and event visits become easier to plan when a suitable toilet is available.
-
👶 Young families: A spacious cot can also be helpful for changing children and offers more room than many conventional changing facilities.
-
🌍 Appeal of events and cities: Good accessibility makes offerings available to more people and strengthens an inclusive urban community.
-
🚑 Added safety: A defibrillator is also included in the plans for the ©InklusionWC. It is intended to complement the safety equipment and be quickly available in the event of a medical emergency.
-
🤝 Greater social participation: No one should have to leave an event early or skip it entirely due to the lack of a suitable toilet.
A mobile, barrier-free sanitary solution is therefore more than just technical equipment—it represents dignity, safety, autonomy, and equal participation.
What is an “©InklusionWC”?
Fig. 2: Example view of the planned interior with a care bed and ceiling lift.
An ©InklusionWC is a mobile, specially equipped, accessible restroom solution designed for individuals who—due to specific support or care needs—cannot use, or have limited ability to use, standard accessible toilets.
The planned ©InklusionWC is mounted on a mobile trailer that can be hydraulically lowered. Once on-site, the trailer can be lowered to the ground; combined with an extendable access ramp, this ensures the easiest possible barrier-free entry.
Current plans include the following features:
-
↕️ Hydraulically lowerable trailer (manual operation)
-
♿ Extendable accessible ramp made of aluminum checker plate
-
🔄 Spacious area for maneuvering and turning
-
🚻 Toilet with two hinged grab bars
-
🚿 Washbasin with mirror
-
🧴 Paper towel and soap dispensers
-
🛏️ Care bed or fold-down changing table
-
🏗️ Ceiling hoist with a planned load capacity of up to 180 kg
-
🪞 Tiltable mirror
-
🌡️ Electric warm-air heating
-
💡 Ceiling lighting and emergency lighting
-
🆘 Emergency call switch
-
🧼 Hygienic equipment/supplies
-
🗑️ Waste and diaper disposal bins
-
🚑 Defibrillator (additional safety feature)
-
📦 Storage space
-
⚡ 230V electrical connection
-
💧 Fresh water and wastewater connections
According to the current manufacturer's proposal, specifications include a 150 cm turning radius and a maximum ramp incline of 6%.
More than just an ordinary accessible toilet
Fig. 3: Example view of the planned toilet area with hinged grab rails and accessible facilities.
A conventional accessible toilet may be sufficient for many people. However, people with greater support or care needs sometimes require more space to move, a changing table, a hoist and sufficient space for an assistant or accompanying person.
The planned © InklusionWC is intended to take precisely these additional requirements into account. In addition to an accessible toilet area with folding support rails, further equipment features are therefore planned to enable safe, dignified and as independent a use as possible.
The key idea is:
It is not only about being able to reach a toilet – but also about being able to use it according to one’s own needs.
🚗 Mobility and Transport
A particular advantage of the planned ©InklusionWC is its mobility. The entire sanitary facility is located on a trailer and can therefore be flexibly transported to different locations.
According to the current quotation, the currently planned trailer has:
-
an unladen weight of approx. 1,500 kg
-
a permissible gross weight of approx. 1,800 kg
-
a single axle
-
a hydraulically lowerable chassis
-
as well as an extendable access ramp.
Hydraulically Lowerable
At the location of use, the trailer can be hydraulically lowered.
This reduces the entrance height. In combination with the extendable access ramp, this can create an access route that is as level and accessible as possible.
After use, the facility is returned to its transport position.
This technical solution is particularly important because it means that the © InklusionWC is not permanently tied to a single location.
Suitable Towing Vehicle
Not every passenger car can tow a trailer in this weight category.
The following are particularly important:
-
the permissible braked towing capacity of the towing vehicle,
-
the permissible gross weights,
-
the permissible nose weight,
-
the vehicle documents,
-
and further technical and legal requirements.
Suitable vehicles may include appropriately approved larger passenger cars, SUVs or transport vehicles with sufficient towing capacity.
Example:
If, according to its vehicle documents, a suitable vehicle is permitted to tow a braked trailer weighing up to 2,000 kg, a trailer with a permissible gross weight of 1,800 kg is generally below this individual weight limit.
If, on the other hand, the permissible braked towing capacity is only 1,500 kg, a trailer that actually weighs 1,800 kg may not be towed by this vehicle.
The specific vehicle documents and the actual weight of the vehicle-trailer combination are always decisive.
Tempo 100
Another important part of our mobility concept is the Tempo 100 specification or Tempo 100 approval of the trailer, as intended according to the manufacturer’s information.
This can make longer transport distances considerably more practical.
However, Tempo 100 approval for the trailer does not mean that it is automatically permitted to travel at 100 km/h with every towing vehicle.
In order to actually make use of the Tempo 100 regulation, the legal requirements for the specific combination of towing vehicle and trailer must be met.
These include, among other things, requirements relating to:
-
towing vehicle and trailer,
-
weight ratio,
-
braking and stabilisation technology,
-
tyres,
-
vehicle documents,
-
as well as the prescribed Tempo 100 identification.
This mobility is particularly important for our concept: The ©InklusionWC is not intended to be tied to a fixed location, but rather to be used wherever suitable accessible sanitary facilities are needed.
Who Benefits from the ©InklusionWC?
The project is primarily aimed at people for whom a conventional accessible toilet is not sufficient.
Those who particularly benefit include:
-
people with severe or multiple disabilities
-
wheelchair users with greater support needs
-
people who require a hoist for transfers
-
people who depend on a changing table
-
people with incontinence and greater care needs
-
older people with support or care needs
-
assistants and accompanying persons
-
families and relatives
-
parents with children who require a larger changing and lying-down facility
However, event organisers and the entire urban community also benefit.
Suitable accessible sanitary facilities can help to ensure that:
-
events become accessible to more people,
-
families can participate in events together for longer,
-
associations can create more inclusive activities,
-
cities and municipalities can make their events more accessible,
-
and people with disabilities are less frequently excluded because suitable sanitary facilities are unavailable.
Our Goal: The First ©InklusionWC in Werne
The association Rollstuhlgerecht in Stadt Werne e.V. initially intends to realise an ©InklusionWC for Werne.
Werne is not intended to be the end of the project.
If the concept proves successful in practice, we would like to gain experience and, in the longer term, transfer the model to other towns and municipalities in the Unna district.
The first © InklusionWC is therefore also intended to serve as a model and demonstration project.
Representatives of other municipalities, disability advisory councils, disability officers, associations and other interested parties should have the opportunity to view the concept and learn about financing, equipment and practical implementation.
In the long term, we are pursuing a broader vision:
Mobile accessibility should be available wherever people participate together in social life.
The Planned Model
Our concept provides for the ©InklusionWC to remain the property of the association Rollstuhlgerecht in Stadt Werne e.V.
In this way, the association intends to ensure on a long-term basis that the facility is used in accordance with the charitable purpose of the project.
However, the association does not have to undertake all operational tasks itself.
For the practical operation, cooperation with a suitable toilet rental company or service provider is planned.
The Association
The association is intended in particular to:
-
remain the owner of the facility
-
coordinate the project
-
raise donations and sponsorship funds
-
identify funding opportunities
-
establish partnerships
-
safeguard the social objectives of the project
-
carry out public relations work
-
support the further development of the concept
A Suitable Operator or Toilet Rental Company
Depending on the later contractual arrangements, the following services could, for example, be undertaken:
-
transport
-
set-up and dismantling
-
cleaning
-
disinfection
-
maintenance
-
repairs
-
storage
-
required insurance
-
ensuring operational safety
-
personnel
-
organisational administration of the rental process
Important: The specific allocation of responsibilities will only become binding through future contracts.
Ownership of the facility purchased by the association is intended to remain with the association.
Contractual Structure of the Planned Model
A contractual structure is planned so that ownership, operation, responsibility and financing can be clearly separated from one another.
1. Purchase Agreement with the Manufacturer
The purchase agreement is intended to regulate in particular:
-
construction and delivery of the facility
-
final technical equipment
-
quality requirements
-
accessible design
-
design and wrapping
-
possible sponsor displays
-
maintenance requirements
-
delivery time
-
payment terms
-
warranty
The association Rollstuhlgerecht in Stadt Werne e.V. is intended to become the owner of the facility.
2. Usage and Operating Agreement with an Operator
A separate agreement with a suitable toilet rental company or service provider is planned for the later operation.
Ownership of the facility is not intended to be transferred.
Instead, the agreement is intended to regulate which operational tasks are undertaken by the operator.
These could include, for example:
-
transport
-
set-up and dismantling
-
cleaning and disinfection
-
maintenance
-
repairs
-
storage
-
insurance
-
ensuring operational safety
-
personnel
-
billing and organisational administration
Which services are actually transferred will only be bindingly determined in a later agreement.
3. Possible Framework Agreement
In addition, we would like to examine whether a joint framework agreement between
City or municipality – association – operator
could be developed.
The aim would be, in particular, to establish clear responsibilities and usage conditions that are as socially affordable as possible.
All of the contractual models mentioned are currently still in the concept and planning phase.
Affordable Use Instead of High Barriers to Access
A high-quality mobile accessible sanitary facility involves considerable purchase, operating, transport, cleaning and maintenance costs.
Our goal is therefore not only the purchase itself.
The © InklusionWC must also be affordable to use later on.
To achieve this, we would like to combine various possibilities:
-
donations
-
sponsorship
-
membership fees
-
grants
-
partnerships
-
possible participation by cities and municipalities
-
more favourable purchasing conditions
-
possible collective orders
-
optimised transport and service costs
In particular, non-profit event organisers should, wherever possible, not have to forgo an accessible sanitary solution solely because of high costs.
Our Planned Inclusion Fund
A dedicated financing approach is planned for the financing of mobile accessibility:
Inclusion Fund for Mobile Accessibility – Werne
Within this model, the © InklusionWC project is intended to be managed as a separate cost centre.
Donations, sponsorship funds and other funds specifically designated for this purpose can therefore be used for the project in a transparent and traceable manner.
The fund is intended in particular to contribute towards:
-
financing the purchase
-
contributing towards ongoing project-related costs
-
supporting socially affordable usage options
-
supporting non-profit uses
-
enabling further mobile accessibility
In the longer term, such a model could also be transferred to other municipalities.
If the model is later transferred to other towns or municipalities, consideration should be given to whether a separate local inclusion fund or a separate project-related cost centre can be established for the respective municipality.
This could enable municipalities, companies, sponsors and other supporters to contribute specifically to financing mobile accessibility in their respective region.
At the same time, this is intended to enable transparent allocation of the funds used.
Socially Affordable Prices – Our Intended Model
Together with municipalities and a future operator, we would like to examine how socially affordable conditions can be made possible.
One possibility would be a framework agreement between:
City or municipality – association – operator
Within such a model, special conditions could, for example, be agreed for:
-
cities and municipalities,
-
other legal entities under public law and
-
tax-privileged non-profit organisations.
The association is intended to act as a non-profit project sponsor and coordinator and not as a commercial toilet rental company.
Example for Illustration
Assumed regular deployment price charged by an operator:
€300
Assumed reduced rate:
€250
Of this, for example, the own contribution of a non-profit user:
€50
Possible funding contribution:
€200
Depending on the available funds and the funding conditions established at a later stage, this funding contribution could be partly financed from the Inclusion Fund.
Important: These amounts are solely a calculation example to illustrate our planned financing model. They represent neither current prices nor a binding price commitment or an entitlement to funding.
Reducing Costs – Without Cutting Back on Accessibility
We do not want to cut back on the necessary accessible equipment.
Instead, costs should be reduced where this is organisationally and economically reasonable.
Collective Orders
If the project is later expanded to other towns, consideration could be given to whether several facilities can be ordered together.
Larger order quantities may make more favourable purchasing conditions possible.
A collective order would be particularly worth considering if the model project in Werne has been successfully implemented and other municipalities or organisations show interest.
Flexible Services
Operating costs should also be examined.
Not every deployment necessarily requires all services to the same extent.
We would therefore like to examine together with a future operator whether certain services – insofar as this is legally, hygienically, in terms of insurance and organisationally possible – can be selected flexibly.
These could include, for example:
-
transport
-
collection and return transport
-
cleaning
-
supervision during an event
-
additional services
Where it is responsible and permissible, individual tasks could potentially also be undertaken by appropriately
instructed volunteers.
Safety, hygiene, insurance cover and legal requirements always take priority.
Sponsorship: Visibly Breaking Down Barriers
The ©InklusionWC is not intended to be funded solely through traditional donations.
Companies, foundations, and other supporters are to be given the opportunity to visibly back the project as sponsors.
Advertising space on the exterior of the trailer is designated for this purpose.

Fig. 4: The illustration shows an example of what a future design of the ©InklusionWC could look like.
The company and organization names shown here—insofar as they appear as part of a conceptual design—serve solely to visualize potential sponsorship areas; they do not represent actual sponsorship commitments unless such an agreement explicitly exists.
By combining sponsorship with public relations, we aim to create added value for both parties:
For the project:
-
Funding for the initial acquisition
-
Support for ongoing costs
-
Enhanced opportunities for socially inclusive usage models
-
Long-term sustainability and further development
For sponsors:
-
Visible social engagement
-
Regional presence
-
Association with a tangible inclusion project
-
Potential integration into the project’s public relations activities
Our core concept:
Companies gain visibility—barriers are reduced.
Example of the planned design
Fig. 4: Example view of the planned exterior design of the ©InklusionWC, showing designated sponsor areas.
The design of the trailer is intended to make the project visible to the public. In addition to the project name ©InklusionWC, the design may include elements such as:
-
Project information
-
Association name and logo
-
Website address
-
QR code
-
Acknowledgement of supporters
-
Uniformly designed sponsor areas
-
Information on project funding
This turns the facility itself into a tool for public outreach regarding accessibility and inclusion.
How much does a ©InklusionWC cost?
For project planning purposes, a quote was obtained for a mobile, accessible toilet unit with custom specifications. The quote we received, dated March 4, 2026, covers the base price for the mobile accessible toilet as well as numerous optional equipment features.
The total amount at that time was:
€87,713.71 (including 19% VAT)
According to the quote, this figure included—in addition to the standard equipment—components such as a hoist, a fold-down changing table, heating, additional hygiene facilities, and other technical options.
Important note regarding the cost estimate
According to the supplier, the quote was valid until March 31, 2026; it is presented on our website solely to provide transparency regarding the project and cost planning to date. The figure of €87,713.71 does not represent a current, binding sales price. Prices, equipment specifications, delivery times, and terms are subject to change at any time. A current quote will therefore be obtained prior to placing an actual order.

Quote status: 4 March 2026 – originally valid until 31 March 2026. This document serves the purpose of information and project transparency.
Cooperation Is the Key
A project of this scale cannot be realised by an association alone.
For successful implementation, we need the cooperation of different stakeholders:
-
people with disabilities and their relatives
-
our association
-
manufacturers
-
operators and toilet rental companies
-
cities and municipalities
-
disability officers and disability advisory councils
-
non-profit organisations
-
funding bodies and foundations
-
companies
-
donors
-
sponsors
-
volunteers
Only when experience, expertise, financing and practical implementation come together can an idea become a permanently usable solution.
Legal and Social Background
Accessibility and equal participation are not optional side issues, but central social objectives.
The © InklusionWC project therefore follows the fundamental principles of various legal and human rights regulations.
Basic Law
Article 3 paragraph 3 of the Basic Law expressly contains the prohibition of discrimination on the grounds of disability.
This constitutional principle underlines the importance of a society in which people with disabilities can participate on an equal basis.
UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities follows a human rights-based approach.
Of particular importance to our project are:
-
Article 9 – Accessibility
-
Article 30 – Participation in cultural life, recreation, leisure and sport
Accessibility is an important prerequisite for people with disabilities to actually be able to use public services and participate in social life on an equal basis.
Social Code Book IX
Section 1 of Social Code Book IX places self-determination as well as the full, effective and equal participation of people with disabilities in society at the centre.
Disability Equality Act
Section 4 BGG describes accessibility, among other things, as meaning that designed areas of life should generally be locatable, accessible and usable by people with disabilities without particular difficulty.
The ©InklusionWC sees itself as a practical contribution to these social objectives.
Important: The regulations mentioned do not automatically result in a legal obligation in every individual case for an event organiser to provide exactly an ©InklusionWC. However, they form an important legal and social framework for accessibility, equality and participation.
Our goal is to develop a practical and usable solution for everyday life based on these principles.
Examples from Across Germany
Mobile and specially equipped accessible sanitary solutions are not merely a theoretical idea.
Existing projects already show that such facilities can be used in practice at events.
Freiburg im Breisgau
The City of Freiburg has purchased a mobile “Toilet for All” as a passenger-car trailer.
The facility is equipped, among other things, with a changing table and a ceiling hoist and can be used and rented for events.
Freiburg therefore shows that a mobile solution can also be implemented at municipal level and used across different event locations.
Munich District
A mobile accessible “Toilet for All” is also available in the Munich district.
The facility was purchased by the Lebenshilfe workshop with financial support from the district and is rented out in particular to event organisers and organisations within the district.
The equipment includes, among other things, an accessible sanitary facility, a changing table and an emergency call system.
Stiftung Leben pur / “Toilets for All”
Mobile solutions for events are also available in connection with Stiftung Leben pur.
Among other things, mobile “Toilets for All” containers with an accessible toilet facility, changing table and person hoist are offered there.
These examples show:
Mobile sanitary solutions for people with complex disabilities can be implemented in practice and can significantly improve social participation at events.
Our concept in Werne is intended to build on these experiences while at the same time developing its own model:
-
with a mobile trailer,
-
long-term ownership by the association,
-
an operator concept,
-
an inclusion fund,
-
socially affordable usage options,
-
sponsorship spaces
-
and a perspective for additional municipalities.
Werne is intended to serve as the starting point for a long-term transferable concept for mobile accessibility.
From Werne to the Unna District
The first goal is clear:
One ©InklusionWC for Werne.
After that, we would like to examine how the concept can be further developed and transferred to other municipalities.
Werne is intended to serve as the starting point and model project.
Our vision is not to purchase a single toilet.
Our vision is a transferable concept for mobile accessibility.
If several cities, associations and partners work together, additional facilities can be created in the long term. At the same time, collective orders, shared experience and coordinated structures could help to reduce costs.
