Accessibility
There are two disabled parking spaces in Domstraße just before the gateway to the inner courtyard of the Alte Hofhaltung. The inner courtyard of the Alte Hofhaltung can be reached barrier-free via the gateway on Domstraße. From here, a barrier-free path runs along the historic cobblestones to the public toilets (with disabled WC) and to the separate barrier-free entrance to the Historical Museum. The various levels of the Historical Museum are accessible via a disabled-access lift.
