Requirements, Status of Compatibility and Realization

The website meets the requirements of the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz as far as possible and goes beyond the legal requirements in some aspects. The following standards and guidelines, among others, were taken into consideration:

• Harmonized European Standard EN 301 549, Version 3.2.1
• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), Version 2.2, Levels A and AA

We are constantly implementing measures to further improve the accessibility and user experience of our website.

This includes:

• The website was tested for accessibility, then partly revised and adapted to accessibility standards.
• A menu with accessibility features has been integrated to enable additional accessibility settings.
• Any future development of the website (e.g. new content, functions) will take accessibility into account from the outset.

• Information and visual cues are not conveyed by color alone but are supplemented by text, icons, or other graphic elements.

Alternatives for non-text content

• Alternative descriptions (e.g., alt texts) are provided for non-text content such as images, icons, and graphics, allowing access without visual perception.

Zoom

• You can enlarge the website content without loss of functionality or information, using your browser or operating system settings.

Keyboard focus

• Interactive elements such as links or buttons are visually highlighted when selected with the keyboard to make navigation easier (keyboard focus).

Support for screen reader / Braille display

• All areas, content, and functions related to the offered services can be accessed using screen readers, either through audio output or tactile feedback via an external Braille display.

Structure & layout

• The website follows a clear semantic structure, with meaningful headings and labels that support navigation and comprehension.

Links

• Links are identified by more than one visual feature and are provided with meaningful link text.
• To further improve the recognizability of the links, the “Highlight Links” function can be activated in the accessibility menu.

Auditory (hearing)

Access to the offered services is possible even with limited or no hearing ability. No information is communicated exclusively via sound.

Alternatives for audio content

• No audio or video content relevant to the use of the services is currently provided.

Physical (mobility, reach, strength)

The offered services can also be accessed by users with limited mobility. No extended reach or physical strength is required to operate any function.

Keyboard control

• All relevant areas and functions are fully accessible via external keyboards, with a logical navigation order.

Target size

• Elements have sufficiently large target size and are spaced far enough apart.

Display layout

• The website can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation. All content and functions adapt accordingly.

No complex movements

• No complex gestures (e.g., swiping or dragging) are required for using any service.

Speech

The use of the services is also possible without speaking ability. No speech input is required, and there are no voice-only features.

Cognitive (psychological, neurological, neurodivergent)

The services can be used by individuals with cognitive, psychological, or neurological impairments, including neurodivergent users.

Errors

• Input processes are designed to help users avoid errors through clear labels and guidance.

Animations

• Only minimal and simple animations are used. To avoid distraction or discomfort, these can be reduced via the “reduce motion” setting in your device's accessibility features.

Flashing

• This website does not contain any light or flash effects that could trigger photosensitive seizures or discomfort in sensitive persons.

Non-Accessible Content

The following content is known to us and is currently not accessible for the reasons outlined below:

• The accessibility of this website primarily covers those areas that are essential for the use of the offered services and for navigation to those services. These core functionalities have been intentionally designed to be as accessible as possible. Other sections of the website currently offer only limited accessibility. This is mainly due to the age of the underlying technical infrastructure and the development standards in place at the time of implementation. A comprehensive, retrospective adaptation of all content and design elements would require a disproportionate amount of effort and cannot be implemented at this time for organizational and economic reasons. As part of a future relaunch of the website, accessibility will be fully integrated from the outset, based on current legal requirements and recognized accessibility standards.
• In some cases, older documents and content are included on this website that do not meet full accessibility requirements. Retrofitting these materials would involve significant effort and cannot be implemented across the board at this time for organizational reasons. However, if you require a specific document in an accessible format, we will gladly provide it upon request as quickly as possible.
• This website may also include third-party content and documents that were not created, funded, or controlled by us. We are therefore unable to make any statement regarding their compliance with current accessibility requirements.

Accessibility Menu

You can use various accessibility settings on our website that allow you to adapt the appearance and operation of the site to your individual needs. These functions can be found in the bottom right-hand corner of the browser window or via the skip link menu. To further optimize your user experience, several functions can be combined at the same time so that you can adjust the settings as required and achieve an even better effect.

The following functions are available in the accessibility menu:

Summary of the current page

• Generates a summary of the current page in simple language created by artificial intelligence (AI), which summarizes the most important information in a short and understandable way. Please note that the summary may differ from the original version.

Navigation

• Provides simplified navigation that allows users to navigate the website faster and without distractions. This allows users to access the most important areas directly without having to navigate through complex menu structures.

• High Contrast: Increases the color contrasts to improve readability.
• Invert Colors: Inverts the colors to increase the contrast between text and background.

• Dyslexia-friendly font: Activates a special font that makes reading easier for people with dyslexia or reading problems.
• Use system font: Uses the device's default font to fix any issues with the font used on the website and improve readability and consistency of display.
