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 State Act on Equal Opportunities for Disabled Persons (Landesgesetz zur Gleichstellung behinderter Menschen, LGGBehM) and the Ordinance 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 beyond those planned would constitute a disproportionate burden for Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz as defined in section 7 subsection 3 LGGBehM, and the University is therefore exempt from the obligation to provide the accessibility specified in section 7 subsection 1 LGGBehM.

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