This statement was created on September 23, 2020.

Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz is committed to making the websites of its domain “uni-mainz.de” as accessible to all users as possible. The legal basis for this is the Rhineland-Palatinate Inclusion Act (Landesinklusionsgesetz, InklG RP) and the Decree on Barrier-Free Information Technology Rhineland-Palatinate (Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung Rheinland-Pfalz, BITV RP).

The websites of the domain “uni-mainz.de” are currently designed to be as accessible as possible within the scope of technical feasibility. During the upcoming university-wide website relaunch, the aim will be to further adapt the layout and ensure accessibility for all. Earlier adjustments to the design of the website than those planned would represent a disproportionate burden on Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz as defined in Art. 7 Par. 3 LGGBehM, thus making it currently exempt from the obligation to provide the accessibility specified in Art. 7 Para. 1 LGGBehM.

If you have any concerns relating to website accessibility, please contact:
