Declaration on accessibility
This declaration on digital accessibility applies to the website of the City of Lorsch published at the URL https://kloster-lorsch.de.
As a public body within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/2102, we endeavor to make our websites and mobile applications accessible in accordance with the provisions of the Hessian Disability Equality Act (HessBGG) and the Hessian Ordinance on Barrier-free Information Technology (HVBIT) for the implementation of Directive (EU) 2016/2102.
Status of compatibility with the requirements
The accessibility requirements are set out in sections 3 (1) to (4) and (4) of the HVBIT, which was issued on the basis of section 14 of the HessBGG. The Bergstrasse district is working to fully meet the requirements of the applicable accessibility standards.
The verification of compliance with the requirements is based on a self-assessment carried out in the period from 19.11.2021 to 22.11.2021. The following is a list of content and functions that do not yet fully comply with this.
Incompatibility with accessibility legislation
The content listed below does not comply with the relevant legal provisions on accessibility:
- PDF files that are offered for download on the website
- Content in easy language and sign language is only available in a few places or not at all
- the alternative texts for images, downloads and links are not yet stored everywhere
Disproportionate burden
The revision of the numerous non-accessible PDFs is a disproportionate burden in accordance with Section 3 (5) HVBIT. On request, we will be happy to provide you with the information you require in an accessible version. Simply send an e-mail to nflrschd.
Planned measures
The improvement of accessibility as a constant adaptation of the website from both a technical and editorial point of view is part of the regular editorial work.
- Alternative texts for images, downloads and links are to be improved and expanded (this goal is to be achieved by the end of 2023)
- Content should also increasingly be made available in plain language
Date of preparation of the accessibility statement
This declaration was created on 01.01.2023. It is based on a self-assessment.
