Wir sind bemüht, unseren Webauftritt im Einklang mit den Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Konformitätsstufe AA, barrierefrei zu gestalten.

Compliance status

This website is **largely compliant** with WCAG 2.1, Level AA. The exceptions listed below relate to individual pieces of content and are being addressed on an ongoing basis.

Non-accessible content

Homepage
The automated WAVE report flags insufficient contrast for the heading (H1) in the hero section. A manual check using the WebAIM Contrast Checker found a contrast ratio of 8.1:1, which clearly meets WCAG Success Criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum, Level AA – required: 4.5:1 for standard text). This is a false positive from the automated test; no actual barrier exists here.
**Flip cards (back side):** White text on a turquoise gradient is also flagged by the WAVE report as low contrast. A manual check using the WebAIM Contrast Checker for large text confirms compliance with WCAG Success Criterion 1.4.3 at Level AA (required: 3:1 for large text). No barrier exists here in terms of WCAG AA requirements.

Subpages
Image alt text:** Not all images on subpages have been assigned alternative text (WCAG Success Criterion 1.1.1, Non-text Content). These are predominantly decorative images without informational content. Full labeling is currently being implemented.

Preparation of this statement
This statement was prepared on 5 August 2026. The assessment was based on an automated scan using WAVE, supplemented by a manual review of individual contrast values using the WebAIM Contrast Checker.
