Visitors and passersby can now visit the inclusive "Café Arthur at the Documentation Center," operated by noris gastro gGmbH. The barrier-free café, located at the entrance area of the Documentation Center (Level 0), features large windows overlooking Dutzendteich lake and an outdoor seating area. In addition to coffee and cake, the café serves a variety of beverages and light snacks. It is currently open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and can be visited independently of the museum.
The café is named after Arthur Brunner, who was a Nuremberg citizen born in 1919 with a disability. In 1941, at the age of 22, he was murdered by the Nazis as part of their "euthanasia" programme. Today, a Stolperstein ("stumbling stone") in front of his former home at Moltkestraße 25 in Nuremberg commemorates Arthur Brunner.
Arthur Brunner: Stolpersteine
The café's inclusive concept aims to integrate people with disabilities and promote an open, free, and democratic society. This is especially important in the Congress Hall, a building built by the Nazis. The motto "Mittendrin und dabei" ("right in the middle and involved") stands for respectful and equal interaction among all people. Up to ten people with disabilities will be employed at the café, participating in all aspects of the hospitality industry and gaining access to working life.
Opening hours:
Tuesday to Saturday: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Outside of these hours, a vending machine with snacks and drinks is available in the break area on Level 1.
