Incompatibilities

The existing known incompatibilities are listed below:

1. Non-accessible content

1.1 Text alternatives for graphic page elements

• Linked images and graphic buttons sometimes have no text alternative or this is not equivalent.
• Unlinked, information-bearing images and multimedia objects do not always have an equivalent text alternative.

1.2 Semantic structuring and adaptability

• Subheadings are not always marked up using HTML structural elements.
• The labels "Salutation" and "Postcode" in the contact form are not correctly linked to the associated form field.
• In some cases - such as error handling in the contact form - reference is made exclusively to sensory features such as color and positioning. These references are not comprehensible without the perception of sensory characteristics.

1.3 Distinctness

• Fonts and colors are used on the website in elements that do not have sufficient contrast to the respective background.
• To mitigate this incompatibility, a high-contrast switch has been added to the page frame of this website, which improves the distinctiveness of this content.
• The browser zoom is supported by the website, but when using the text zoom or when enlarging fonts, overlays occur. some parts of the page overlap or are cut off.
• In the case of very small displays, e.g. a display width of 320px, individual content on the website is cut off.
• The flyout menu of a menu item in the main navigation only closes when the hover state of the mouse is changed, but it does not close when the keyboard focus is changed.

1.4 Keyboard operation

• The website can only be operated with the keyboard to a limited extent.
• The current keyboard focus is not visible. Some controls such as the jump marker to the top of the page, the scroll function of the teaser slider on the home page and the entire mobile menu cannot be reached or operated using the keyboard.

1.5 Time limits and moving content

• The teaser slider on the home page automatically switches between different content. This movement does not stop automatically, nor can it be stopped manually.

1.6 Readability

• The website is currently offered in German.
  Non-German words, e.g. technical terms, are not marked.

1.7 Other

• The HTML of the website is not valid.
• PDFs available for download, such as flyers, are not accessible.
• Content is not yet provided in plain language or sign language.

The offers that are currently not fully accessible will be successively adapted accordingly.

2. Disproportionate burden

Here, the exception due to disproportionate burden according to Art. 5 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 is temporarily invoked here.

• Subtitles for videos have not yet been fully maintained or automatically created in some cases (WCAG success criterion 1.2.2).
• No audio description is provided for videos that require an audio description (WCAG success criterion 1.2.3).
• Integrated, external third-party content, for example videos, podcasts or posts from social media platforms are not fully accessible.
