Declaration of accessibility

The following contents are excluded:

• "Some PDF documents provided on this website that were published before 28 June 2025 do not comply with current accessibility standards."
• "Recorded video content created before 28 June 2025 is available without subtitles or audio description."
• "Interactive maps for location display are not completely barrier-free; essential information (address, directions) is also provided in text form."
• "Content that is integrated by external partners (e.g. social media plugins, embedded videos from third-party providers) is outside the area of responsibility and may therefore not be completely accessible."

• "Certain design elements of our website are an integral part of our corporate design. A complete adaptation to barrier-free requirements would mean a fundamental change to this design."
• "The presentation of interactive graphics is based on proprietary tools that cannot be technically adapted without significant loss of functionality. An accessible alternative in the form of a text description is provided."
• Artistic-creative content: "Certain artistic graphics, illustrations or layouts are part of the overall creative concept. A change to fulfil the accessibility requirements would significantly alter the artistic character and the intended form of expression."
• Brand identity: "Some design elements, such as colour gradients, contrasting elements or animations, are central components of the visual brand identity. An accessible adaptation would represent a fundamental change in this brand perception."
• Interactive special functions: "Complex interactive elements (e.g. 3D product visualisations or simulations) are a core component of the offering. A complete adaptation for screen readers would significantly change the functionality and limit the user experience."
• Dynamic content: "The real-time display of certain live data (e.g. interactive stock market prices or map movements) could not be implemented in a technically accessible way without changing the central function of the application."
• Multimedia presentations: "Some multimedia presentations deliberately rely on the synchronisation of image and sound as a design element. A barrier-free adaptation (e.g. by separating the elements) would significantly change the overall experience."
• Niche functions: "Individual special functions are aimed exclusively at a specific user group and would be restricted in their original functionality by adjustments for accessibility."

• "A complete reworking of all historical PDF archives would represent a disproportionate financial and organisational effort. Central content will therefore be made available in an accessible format on request."
• "Accessible customisation of the booking software used is not possible due to the technical conditions of the external provider. However, users can receive support via alternative contact channels (telephone, e-mail)."
• Data volumes: "The complete barrier-free preparation of our image and video inventory would represent a disproportionate personnel and financial effort. However, important information is also provided in text form."
• Third-party systems: "Our website integrates external tools (e.g. payment or chat modules) that originate from third-party providers. As their customisation is beyond our control, these functions cannot currently be offered completely barrier-free."
• Short-lived content: "Certain content published at short notice (e.g. event announcements or seasonal campaigns) cannot always be provided in an accessible form due to the tight time frame."
• Technical limitations: "The interactive presentation of complex tables and statistics via third-party systems cannot be implemented without barriers. The essential content is therefore also published in an accessible PDF file."
• Old systems / legacy software: "Some older functionalities of the website are based on system components that will be replaced by a new system in the foreseeable future. Adapting these outdated modules would be technically complex and economically disproportionate."
• Resource bottlenecks: "Due to the size of the company and limited financial and human resources, not every function can currently be made fully accessible. However, we are endeavouring to make continuous improvements within the limits of available resources."

• "As a micro-enterprise with fewer than 10 employees and an annual turnover of less than €2 million, we are exempt from the obligation to fully implement the accessibility requirements for our online services in accordance with Section 6 BaFG. Nevertheless, we endeavour to make the content as accessible as possible."
