Accessibility statement

Applicable requirements

Kurgesellschaft Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel mbH is committed to making its digital services accessible to everyone. We continuously work to improve user-friendliness and comply with applicable accessibility standards.

Our goal is to provide our website in accordance with the requirements of the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG).

This accessibility statement applies to the website https://badgottleuba-berggiesshuebel.de/ and was created on April 10, 2026.

Service description

The website badgottleuba-berggiesshuebel.de is the digital information and service platform of the town of Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel. It serves to provide residents, visitors, and other interested parties with information about the town, its districts, events, tourist attractions, contact persons, and administrative services. The website also offers easy access to contact options, forms, and other digital information from the town administration. The goal of this platform is to provide important content and digital services centrally, clearly, and with as many accessibility features as possible, so that all users can use the information and functions offered as independently as possible. The wording is based on the requirement to provide a general description of the service in an understandable and accessible format.

Meeting accessibility requirements

The following accessibility requirements were already taken into account and successfully implemented in the design and development of this website:

• Screen reader compatibility: The website uses a correct heading structure and meaningful ALT text so that screen readers can interpret it. This makes the information available to users with visual impairments as well.
• Contrast: Texts and graphics have sufficient contrast to the background, which improves readability for people with visual impairments.
• Plain language: The website uses clear and simple language, short sentences, and understandable expressions.
• Forms: Forms on the website are clearly labelled and offer understandable instructions, making them easy to use for people with cognitive impairments.
• Alt text: The website has meaningful alt text for all images, which is correctly interpreted by the screen reader, so that users with visual impairments can fully perceive the information.
• Buttons: All buttons are clearly labelled so that they are easily recognizable for screen reader users and the accessibility of the website is ensured.
• Left: All links are clearly labelled, which makes navigation easier and improves usability for people with disabilities.

Market surveillance authority

To implement the Accessibility Strengthening Act, the German federal states have agreed to establish a joint market surveillance authority. This is based on a state treaty that provides for the creation of a central office headquartered in Saxony-Anhalt. The authority – likely to be called the "State Market Surveillance Authority for the Accessibility of Products and Services" – will be responsible for monitoring accessible products and services. Before it can begin its work, the state treaty must be ratified by the states. Once ratification is complete, the information about the market surveillance authority will be automatically incorporated into the accessibility statement.
