The University of Freiburg makes every effort to ensure that its web pages are accessible to persons with disabilities in accordance with § 10 paragraph 1 of the L-BGG (State Act on Equal Opportunities of Persons with Disabilities.
This accessibility statement applies to web pages on the primary domain https://uni-freiburg.de. There are also websites of University of Freiburg institutes, faculties, and institutions on subdomains that may have different implementation instructions and accessibility statements.
Information on infrastructural accessibility can be found on our accessibility website.
Due to the recent transition to a new content management system, we have not yet been able to systematically check and document whether the website meets all accessibility requirements. Because we are now using a modern content management system (WordPress) with an accessible basic layout, however, we assume that it already meets many of the technical requirements today. With the help of an inspection of a small selection of pages conducted on 18 January 2021 by the state inspection office for media accessibility, we were able to remedy shortcomings identified there and make improvements. We will continually implement the requirements described in the L-BBG in the systematic inspection of all pages to be conducted in the further course of the website relaunch process.
These web pages are currently only partially compatible with § 10 paragraph 1 of the L-BGG due to the following incompatibilities and/or exceptions.
The content listed below is not accessible to persons with disabilities for the following reasons:
a) Incompatibility with section 10, paragraph 1 of the L-BGG:
