This website is not fully compliant with the accessibility regulations applicable to us. Specifically:

The content listed below is not compliant with the relevant accessibility regulations:

• Documents (PDF): PDF files embedded on the website (e.g. brochures, downloads) are largely not in an accessible format (WCAG criterion 1.1.1 / PDF/UA standard).
• Videos and audio: Some of the media content embedded on the website lacks subtitles, transcripts or audio descriptions (WCAG criterion 1.2.2).
• Colour contrasts: Individual text and interaction elements do not have a sufficiently high contrast against the background in the default view (WCAG criterion 1.4.3).

The following content is not available in an accessible format as this would impose a disproportionate burden on us:

• Older PDF documents and archive data: The subsequent revision and processing of historical PDF documents and extensive image and archive material represents a disproportionately high financial and staffing effort. However, we strive to make newly uploaded documents accessible step by step.

The following non-accessible content on this website does not fall within the scope of the accessibility regulations:

• Third-party content: Third-party content that is not funded or developed by Schloss Drachenburg gGmbH and is not subject to its control (e.g. embedded map data such as Google Maps, external video platforms or third-party widgets).
• Cultural artefacts and historical archives: Digital reproductions of historical documents or works of art that cannot be digitised in an accessible format due to their conservation or original state.

For our non-accessible content, we provide the following accessible alternatives:

• Accessibility tool/widget: To support accessibility, we use the OneTap accessibility toolbar. This user interface offers a range of helpful features, including: customisable text size and contrast settings, highlighting of links and text for better visibility, full keyboard navigation of the toolbar interface, toggling animations on and off. A quick start is available via the keyboard shortcut: Alt + . (Windows) or ⌘ + . (Mac) possible. Please note the following: The availability and effectiveness of these functions depend on the configuration and ongoing maintenance of the website.
• Sitemap As an alternative to navigation, the website contains a sitemap with an overview of all topics and direct linking.
