Please enlighten me if i am wrong, but the handrails besides the
toilets are for using the bathroom *allone*, right? There is
quite a lot of space besides the toilets, so it should be
possible to navigate a wheelchair in the toilets, but I did *not*
see any handrails in the toilets in the dorm. Otherwise all doors are wide
enough for wheelchairs and the elevator reaches all floors and
the house was build with handicapted in mind (so the owner told
us when we asked).

you are a wee bit late for sponsorship requests. if you send me your
travel details privately I can put you in the queue and you might
get some money if we have some left *after* the conference and
everything else is payed, but i would not bet on it.
