“Lego Grandma” Uses Colorful Stones to Ensure Accessibility: The Success Story of Rita Ebel

Stadthagen. Lego grandma Rita Ebel is as fun-loving as her colorful ramps – these should enable wheelchair users to overcome small barriers such as steps in buildings. And since this connection works so well together, it has also become quite successful and a minor celebrity. The 65-year-old from Hanau, Hesse, doesn’t want to earn money with her Lego ramps: “I want to attract attention, break down inhibitions in people’s minds and of course achieve accessibility for everyone,” says Ebel.
