Abstract
The German cripple-power-festival is an initiative which promotes disability culture in Germany. The fourth festival of this kind took place in September 2003 as a part of the European Year of Disabled People. Ottmar Miles-Paul, a free-lance journalist based in Kassel, Germany provides insight about this initiative and the changes disability culture is making in the area of general disability politics in Germany.
