Accessibility Statement
1. Scope
This statement applies to the website https://www.landhotel-rittmeister.de/ as well as all subpages, included content (images, videos, booking forms) and mobile versions.
2. Current state of accessibility
The website is partially accessible, but some areas do not yet fully comply with the requirements of BITV 2.0.
According to external information, certain areas of the hotel are structurally barrier-free, however not all areas are equally accessible digitally and locally.
3. Criteria met (examples)
- Responsive design: The page adapts to mobile devices (menu, booking overview, contact).
- Keyboard accessibility: Main navigation, forms and booking links can be operated via tab.
- Semantic structure: Heading hierarchy (H1–H3) and list structure correctly implemented.
- Contrast ratios: Text colors generally meet a contrast ratio of at least 4,5:1, e.g. in text blocks and buttons.
4. Barriers and exceptions
| Problem | Description | Planned measures |
|---|---|---|
| Booking form (external) | Parts of the booking process are implemented by a third-party widget. Mandatory fields and error messages are not fully accessible (e.g. missing aria-label, poor focus) | Coordination with widget provider on barrier-free implementation by Q3 2025. |
| Multimedia content | Some embedded videos (e.g., "Herbal Spa" promo) do not currently have subtitles or transcripts. | Review and retrofit all videos with subtitles by Q2 2025. |
| Forms and interactions | Missing ARIA roles (aria-invalid, aria-describedby) for form validation and booking options | Integration of error-readable ARIA notices by Q3 2025. |
5. Test procedure
- Automated tests using axe-Core and WAVE to identify technical barriers.
- Manual tests with keyboard navigation, screen reader (NVDA / VoiceOver).
- Feedback loop with guests taking accessibility needs into account.
