Accessibility Statement

Scope

This declaration applies to all digital content and pages of https://www.warnemuender-hof.de/ – including mobile version, contact form, booking widget, location map, newsletter and PDF documents (e.g. terms and conditions).

Legal basis

The declaration is based on the requirements of the BITV 2.0 in accordance with the Disability Equality Act (BGG) and is based on the four principles: Perceptibility, usability, Comprehensibility and robustness.

Current status

The website is structured with clear headings, a responsive design, and form-based elements. We regularly conduct automated (axe, WAVE) and manual (keyboard navigation, screen reader) checks. However, digital hurdles remain, particularly with PDFs, contrast settings, navigation, and external widgets.

Non-accessible content

– Usually insufficiently structured for screen readers (missing tags, chapter headings).
– Measure: Accessible PDF preparation by Q4 2025.

Images & Alt Text

– Action: Add meaningful alt texts by Q3 2025.

Color contrast & visual elements
– Certain texts, buttons and links fall below the required contrast ratio of 4,5:1.
– Action: Adjust color scheme and contrast values ​​by Q2 2025.

Navigation & keyboard control

Multimedia content

External widgets (e.g. booking tool)
– Third-party plugins (e.g. booking widget, live chat) often do not have correct ARIA roles, focus control or linguistically understandable elements.
