The German version of the** [**Accessibility Statement**](https://www.tourismus-fuerth.de/barrierefreiheitserklaerung/ "Internal link to the Accessibility Statement page") **is legally binding.** Accessibility Statement ----------------------- The Fürth Tourist Information Centre strives to ensure that its website [**www.tourismus-fuerth.com**](https://www.tourismus-fuerth.de/ "Internal link to the tourismus-fuerth.com page") complies with the **Bavarian Digital Regulation** (BayDiV), the **Bavarian E-Government Regulation** (BayEGovV), the requirements of the **Barrier-Free Information Technology Regulation** (BITV 2.0), and the **Web Content Accessibility Guidelines** (WCAG 2.1). This accessibility statement applies to the website at [**www.tourismus-fuerth.com**](https://www.tourismus-fuerth.de/ "Internal link to the tourismus-fuerth.com page") **Date of last revision:** December 1, 2025 ### Status of compliance with requirements The website is largely accessible. The most important measures are: - **Images & graphics:** All important images have meaningful alt text. Graphics with text information have textual alternatives. - **Texts & readability:** Font sizes are scalable (up to 200%) without loss of layout. Color contrasts largely meet WCAG AA requirements. Headings are logically structured. - **Navigation & usability:** All content is accessible via keyboard; focus indicators are visible; menus, drop-downs, and pop-ups work without a mouse. - **Forms:** All forms have clearly assigned labels, mandatory fields are marked, and forms can be completed entirely via keyboard. - **Links:** Link texts are mostly meaningful; external links are marked if they open in a new window. - **Eye-Able Assistant:** Users can customize the website to their individual needs (e.g., font size, contrast, read-aloud function). - **Eye-Able Translator:** The website can be translated into simple language, AI-controlled for better comprehensibility. **Non-accessible content** Despite extensive measures, some content is not yet fully accessible: 1. **PDF documents**: Some internal PDFs are not yet accessible (tags, text instead of images, bookmarks). We cannot provide accessibility information for external PDFs. 2. **Videos & multimedia**: Not all embedded videos have subtitles, audio descriptions, or transcripts. The focusability of the controls is limited for some videos for screen readers. 3. **iFrames**: Not all iFrames currently have an accessible name (title attribute). We have no influence on the content within the iFrames. 4. **Color contrasts for buttons**: Some buttons do not yet fully comply with WCAG AA requirements. We are continuously working to eliminate these barriers step by step. ### Feedback and contact If you notice any barriers on [**www.tourismus-fuerth.com**](https://www.tourismus-fuerth.de/ "Internal link to the tourismus-fuerth.com page") or have any suggestions for improvement, we would appreciate your feedback: **Email:** [**tourist-info@fuerth.de**](mailto:tourist-info@fuerth.de "Email to the Fürth Tourist Information Centre") If you are unable to access the information you need due to a digital barrier, you can also contact us in the following ways: **Tourist Information Centre Fürth** Bahnhofplatz 9 90762 Fürth [**www.tourismus-fuerth.com**](https://www.tourismus-fuerth.de/ "Internal link to the tourismus-fuerth.com page") Phone: 0911 974 3500 Email: [**tourist-info@fuerth.de**](mailto:tourist-info@fuerth.de "Email to the Fürth Tourist Information Centre") ### Conciliation proceedings If you are not satisfied with the response from the above contact option or if no satisfactory solution has been found, you can contact the **arbitration board pursuant to Section 16 BGG** at the Federal Government Commissioner for Matters relating to Disabled Persons.
