Declaration on digital accessibility

The City of Erlangen endeavours to make its website and mobile applications accessible in accordance with the Act on Digitization in the Free State of Bavaria (BayDiG). As a public body within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/2102, we endeavor to make our website accessible in accordance with the provisions of the Disability Equality Act (BGG) and the Accessible Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0) for the implementation of Directive (EU) 2016/2102.

This declaration on digital accessibility applies to the website www.erlangen.de.

Sections that are currently not yet accessible:

• Keyboard accessibility is not yet fully achieved.
• Some PDFs, forms and other material offered for viewing and downloading have not yet been created barrier-free or have not yet been created in barrier-free form for capacity reasons.
• Not all images used could be checked to see whether they convey text information solely via the image content and do not offer a text alternative.
• Subtitles or transcripts are not available for all videos.

Areas that may not be accessible or over which we have no control:

• External websites, applications and documents to which we link are not necessarily accessible.
• Some documents made available for download have been provided by third parties.

A large number of decentralized online editors are responsible for the specialist content of individual websites. Despite references to making the information as accessible as possible, the requirements may not be met in full or at all in individual cases
