We are actively committed to making our website accessible to everyone—regardless of physical or technical limitations. Our goal is to ensure non-discriminatory access to information and features.
Legal Framework
This statement is based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, and takes into account the requirements of the Accessibility Enhancement Act (BFSG), which will take effect on June 28, 2025. Among other things, this law requires providers of digital services to ensure accessibility.
Status of Accessibility
Since January 1, 2025, we have been continuously reviewing and improving our website with regard to accessibility. Implementation is taking place in stages in accordance with WCAG 2.2 (Level AA). We view accessibility as an ongoing process and regularly adapt our content, designs, and technical solutions to new and existing requirements and user needs.
Measures Taken
-
Comprehensive Keyboard Accessibility: Our website can be operated using a keyboard. All interactive elements—such as menus, buttons, forms, or accordions—can be navigated and used without a mouse. This ensures that users with motor impairments or without a pointing device can access all content and use all features.
-
Semantically Correct HTML: When building our website, we rely on a clean, semantically correct HTML structure. Headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and navigation areas are marked up appropriately. This allows assistive technologies, such as screen readers, to reliably interpret the content and clearly convey the page structure.
-
Improved Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds so that content remains easily readable even for users with low vision. Our design adheres to the contrast requirements of WCAG 2.2 (Level AA) to ensure optimal accessibility for all users.
-
Alternative Text for Images and Controls: All relevant images and graphical controls on our website are provided with meaningful alternative text. This allows users with screen readers or those who have image display disabled to fully understand the content. Decorative images are correctly labeled as such and are ignored by assistive technologies so as not to impair comprehensibility.
-
Use of ARIA Attributes: To improve accessibility, we specifically use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to make interactive components—such as accordions, modals, or dynamic content—understandable to screen readers. In doing so, we ensure that all aria-label, aria-labelledby, and aria-expanded attributes are used correctly and are associated with existing elements.
-
Correct Language Specifications in the Source Code: Our pages use the lang attribute correctly to unambiguously identify the language of the content (e.g., lang="de" for German). This allows screen readers and search engines to interpret and read the content correctly. Even for multilingual content, we use specific language specifications within individual sections to avoid misunderstandings.
-
Forms with a Clearly Identifiable Submit Button: All forms on our website include a clearly identifiable submit button that allows users to submit their entries. This ensures that users of assistive technologies—such as screen readers or alternative input devices—can fully complete and successfully submit the forms.
-
Correct Mapping of Form Labels: All form fields on our website are assigned corresponding label elements that unambiguously reference the respective ID of the input field via the for attribute. This clear mapping improves usability and ensures that assistive technologies, such as screen readers, read the labels correctly.
-
Visible Focus: All interactive elements on our website—such as links, buttons, or form fields—clearly indicate when they are selected via the keyboard. This enables full operation even without a mouse.
-
Logical Focus Order for Keyboard Use: The focus order on our website is logical and corresponds to the page’s visual layout. When navigating with the Tab key, interactive elements are traversed in a clear sequence, so that users with keyboards or screen readers are guided through the content efficiently and without confusion.
-
Clearly Distinguishable Links: Links on our site are clearly distinguishable from body text—for example, through color and underlining. This ensures they remain easily recognizable even for users with visual impairments.
-
No Time-Delayed Redirects: Our website does not use automatic time-delayed redirects via meta-refresh. Users retain control over navigation and page transitions at all times.
-
Semantically Correct List Structure: All lists on our website are structured correctly. This allows screen readers to reliably parse and announce the structure.
-
Functioning Anchor Links: Internal links to anchor points (e.g., #content) always point to existing destinations within the document. This ensures that navigation works reliably for keyboard and screen reader users as well.
-
Fully referenced ARIA labels: All aria-labelledby attributes on our website refer to existing and meaningful label elements. This ensures that users with screen readers always receive understandable contextual information.
-
Alternative Text for Image Buttons: Image-based buttons on our website always include meaningful alt text that clearly describes the button’s function (e.g., "Start Search" or "Back to Overview"). This ensures that users of screen readers can fully understand the meaning and function of the controls.
-
Unique Main Heading (H1): Every subpage on our website includes a clearly defined main heading that reflects the page’s central topic. This provides users—especially those using screen readers—with immediate guidance on the content and structure of the respective page.
-
Unambiguous Page Title: Every page on our website has a clearly formulated and unambiguous title tag in the header. This title is displayed in the browser tab and helps screen reader users as well as search engines to quickly recognize and categorize the page’s content.
-
Zoom Functionality: Our website allows users to enlarge content by up to 200% using the browser’s zoom function. We do not intentionally restrict this feature so that users with visual impairments can flexibly adapt the content to their needs.
