The Museum Karl-Marx-Haus is a listed historical building that could not be made accessible. The museum can be accessed via a step at the entrance door. Our museum staff will be happy to assist you there.

The museum is not equipped with any lifts or toilets that are accessible to disabled persons. The toilet facilities are located in the basement. However, the barrier-free accessible toilet in the museum's administration building opposite can be used on request.

The museum consists of a front and a rear building. Both parts of the building are connected on the ground floor by an inner courtyard, which can be crossed via three, respectively, two steps. Behind the rear building is the museum garden, which can be reached via one step down and two steps up.

The reduced admission price applies to visitors with a degree of disability of 50% or more (according to German "GdB" scale). We grant free admission for visitors with 80% or more (according to German "GdB" scale).
