Universität Hamburg seeks to make its website, www.uni-hamburg.de, fully accessible to people with disabilities. This process is based on the Hamburg act on equal treatment for disabled persons (Hamburgisches Gesetz zur Gleichstellung behinderter Menschen, HmbGGbM) and the ordinance on barrier-free information technology (Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung, BITV 2.0).

The following exam steps were rated „Honor Fulfilled“ for the template of the Blog:

  • 1.1.1a Alternative texts for operating elements
  • 1.3.1a HTML structure elements for headings
  • 2.4.3a Final order in keyboard operation
  • 2.4.7a Current position of focus clearly
  • 3.1.1a Main language indicated
  • 3.3.3a Help with errors

The above mentioned points will be fixed with a next update.

The contents listed below are not barrier-free due to incompatibility with the afore mentioned legal provisions:

  • Images without alternative text
  • Videos without subtitles
  • Headlines not marked as a headline
