Accessibility Statement NL

Introduction

Kur- und Badegesellschaft mbH, as the operator of the Carolus Thermen, is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continuously improve usability for all users and apply the relevant accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2, BITV, and EN 301 549).

This digital accessibility statement applies to the website published at: https://carolus-thermen.de/

This statement includes:

The current compliance status
Contact information for the responsible entities

Compliance Status

This website is currently not fully compliant with the technical requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 and the German Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung (BITV 2.0).

Non-Accessible Content

The following content is not accessible because it does not comply with the underlying harmonized standard EN 301 549:

There are links without link text on all pages.
On some pages, the contrast between text and background is insufficient.
On some pages, no page title is defined.
The language of the page is not specified in the HTML on all pages.
There are buttons without labels on all pages, making navigation with screen readers more difficult.
Several pages contain headings that lack labels or use the aria-hidden attribute and are therefore not accessible to screen readers.
On all pages, the meta viewport prevents zooming. Disabling zoom reduces readability for users with visual impairments.
On some pages, parent elements are missing required child elements. This may confuse screen reader users who expect content that is not present.
Several pages contain elements with the aria-hidden attribute that are still focusable, making them accessible to assistive technologies even though they should be hidden.

Preparation of the Accessibility Statement

This statement was created on June 25, 2025.
It was prepared using Eye-Able® technology provided by Web Inclusion GmbH. Further information about Web Inclusion GmbH can be found at:

Web Inclusion GmbH has completed all machine-testable verification steps.
