Declaration of accessibility according to BFSG
June 2025
Scope of application: This declaration applies to the website www.hotel-burg-abenberg.com
Introduction
We continuously strive to make the content and functions of our website accessible. The basis for this is the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG) and the EU Directive 2019/882 (European Accessibility Act).
Status of compatibility with the requirements
This website is currently partially compatible with the requirements of BITV 2.0 and the BFSG. The incompatibilities and exceptions are listed below.
Preparation of this declaration
This declaration was created on the basis of a self-assessment using automated testing tools (including the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool).
Analysis and challenges to date
Our analyses have shown that there are extensive technical and economic challenges due to the high age, the tools used, the grown structures and the large amount of content (over 100 active subpages). The entire website system was designed and implemented without taking accessibility into account.
The work that had already begun on full accessibility adaptation had to be discontinued due to the disproportionate effort involved and the increasingly complex structures. Instead, a different approach is now being developed, which includes, for example, reducing the size of the website, partial redesign, concentration on core functions, tool changes and other simplifications.
