Tips on the Rhineland-Palatinate exhibition: This is how your visit to the trade fair works!

From March 26th to 30th, 2025, the Rhineland-Palatinate Consumer Center at the Rhineland-Palatinate exhibition in Hall C, stand number C80. The trade fair visitors have the opportunity to find out comprehensive information about various consumer topics. This includes areas such as energy, telecommunications, media and general consumer law.

In the energy sector, individually tailored analyzes of one's own consumption are offered. Visitors can find out more about savings options, the exchange of heating, energetic renovations and renewable energies. As part of telecommunications and media, the consumer advice center provides valuable information on the Internet, telephone and television, as well as current developments such as fiber optic expansion and changes to cable television. Supporting offers for problems with online orders, craftsmen or trips complete the offer in the area of ​​consumer law.

Advice on accessibility

On a special consultation day, Saturday, March 29, the consumer advice center provides individual advice on barrier -free living space design. Topics such as house entrances, bathrooms, living rooms and kitchens are treated here. Information on aids and funding opportunities is also provided to improve the quality of life of older and reduced mobility.

The possibilities for promoting accessibility are versatile. According to the Consumer center Rhineland-Palatinate , nursing care funds can provide grants of up to 4,180 euros for measures to improve living environment if there is a level of care. In addition, there are inexpensive loans from the kfw , which can no longer be applied for for investment subsidies. Instead, a low -interest loan is available that takes into account income limits.

funding opportunities and trends

The investment and structure bank (ISB) also offers low-interest loans with a repayment subsidy that depends on income. These funding applies to new buildings, first acquisitions, modernization of existing real estate and the construction of rental apartments in Rhineland-Palatinate. The Aktion Mensch is also committed to projects that promote accessible living.

Many seniors want to convert their apartments in a barrier -free manner because the use of conventional bathrooms is becoming increasingly difficult. In accordance with the requirements of the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabilities, barrier-free living is considered a human right. The public sector therefore supports the renovation and creation of barrier -free living space. Measures such as stairlifts, enlarged doors and barrier -free showerplaces can be promoted by grants.

Since demographic change is progressing in Germany and the proportion of over 60 years of age will increase to 38 % by 2060, this topic is becoming increasingly important. Barrier -free living should already be taken into account in the new building, and small structural changes can make everyday life many people easier. Experts in accessibility are ready to support measures in the planning and implementation of measures to enable self -determination in old age.
