This declaration on accessibility applies to the websites of the town of Zwickau published under

• www.galerie-zwickau.de
• www.kunstsammlungen-zwickau.de
• www.priesterhaeuser.de
• www.ratsschulbibliothek.de
• www.rsk-zwickau.de
• www.schumann-zwickau.de

The websites use a central technical code basis.

As a municipality, we strive to make our websites and mobile applications accessible in correspondence with the provisions of the German Equal Opportunities for People with Disabilities Act (Behindertengleichstellungsgesetzes des Bundes (BGG)) and the Regulation on Accessible Information Technology (Barrierefreien‐Informationstechnik‐Verordnung (BITV 2.0)), implementing Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and the Council (Richtline (EU) 2019/882 des europäischen Parlaments und des Rates).

Die Anforderungen der Barrierefreiheit ergeben sich aus §§ 3 Absätze 1 bis 4 und 4 der BITV 2.0, die auf der Grundlage von § 12d BGG erlassen wurde.

The requirements to accessibility result from §§ 3 (1) to (4) and 4 of the BITV 2.0, passed based on § 12d BGG.

This mostly corresponds to the standard of the „Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1“  (WCAG 2.1 bis Level AA).

This website is only partly accessible based on the above directives.

• Alternative texts for graphical operating elements, figures, and elements have not been added everywhere yet. Some figures have unintelligible alt texts. (WCAG performance criterion 1.1.1)
• The structure and information for relationships for headlines, lists, structured contents, table cells, and form elements are not reflected fully and comprehensibly in the source code on some pages. (WCAG performance criterion 1.3.1)
• The input fields for the user-related data, such as name, address, email address, etc. require the autocomplete attribute.
  The contrast between the font and background colours is too low in some places. (WCAG 1.4.3a)
• Additional content that is displayed by pointer or keyboard focus cannot be closed via the keyboard. (WCAG performance criterion 1.4.13)
• Some functions and contents can only be used by mouse. (WCAG performance criterion 2.1.1)
• Areas of the website that can be targeted directly have space for optimisation or further development. (WCAG performance criterion 2.4.1)
• Not all document titles are clear. (WCAG performance criterion 2.4.2)
• The order of keyboard operation does not correspond to the visual arrangement in some places. (WCAG performance criterion 2.4.3)
• Informative link texts are missing in some places. (WCAG performance criterion 2.4.4)
• The current position of the standard browser focus is not evident in some places. (WCAG performance criterion 2.4.7a)
• The visible labels do not always match the accessible names. (WCAG performance criterion 2.5.3a)
• Form fields are not sufficiently labelled. (WCAG performance criterion 3.3.2)
• Error messages in uncompleted form elements are placed only after the respective input field visually and in the HTML and are not linked to the field either (WCAG performance criterion 3.1.3)
• Some pages have syntax errors that may impair accessibility. (WCAG performance criterion 4.1.1)
• Interactive operating elements partly do not have any names and roles that can be determined in the program. (WCAG performance criterion 4.1.2)
• Status messages of the contents partly cannot be determined via roles or properties in the program. As a result, they cannot be output by assistive technologies. (WCAG performance criterion 4.1.3)
