The conciliation body under the Bremen Disability Equality Act (BremBGG) has commenced its work. The office of the conciliation body is located at the office of the Commissioner for People with Disabilities of the State of Bremen.
The conciliation office is located at the office of the State Commissioner for People with Disabilities of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen and has the task of settling disputes between people with disabilities and public authorities out of court.
It is open to all citizens with disabilities as well as to associations in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen entitled to bring class action lawsuits. Unlike many court proceedings, no legal representation is required.
The Free Hanseatic City of Bremen is thus creating a point of contact to eliminate discrimination and violations of accessibility principles. The aim of a mediation procedure is to reach an amicable agreement between the individual concerned and the relevant public authority. If mediation fails, subsequent legal proceedings are generally possible.
Procedure of a conciliation process

He must provide a description of the facts, the objective pursued, the name and address of the applicant and the public authority involved.
