‘Lego Oma:’ German grandma creates Lego ramps to access buildings and imagination

Only a year ago, the quirky grandma became the popular ‘Lego Oma,’ when she started to build Lego ramps as part of the ‘Menschen in Hanau’ (Humans in Hanau) initiative.

The Lego ramps aren’t classified as official wheelchair ramps.

According to Rita, her ramps can’t be officially classified as wheelchair ramps in Germany because laws only allow a six percent inclination.

So our ramps don’t qualify as wheelchair ramps, but all city officials support our work and don’t complain.” »
