The Ludwigsburg district website is largely barrier-free.
Accessibility means that people with disabilities (e.g. visually impaired or blind people) can also use the Ludwigsburg district website without special restrictions and generally without outside help.
The Ludwigsburg District Office strives to make its website accessible in accordance with Section 10(1) of the State Law on Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (L-BGG).
This accessibility statement applies to the website of the Ludwigsburg District Office (www.landkreis-ludwigsburg.de).
1. Status of Compliance with Requirements
The Ludwigsburg District Office has provided information in plain language about the website’s key content for people with disabilities.
This includes:
- An introduction to the District Office, contact information, hours of operation, and address
- Guidance on navigating the website
- Support services for people with disabilities
- Social services
- Health
- Waste
- Accessibility Statement
Videos in sign language are provided on the following topics:
- Website navigation and content
- Accessibility Statement
The entire website is accessible, featuring a text-to-speech function and the option to increase contrast.
There is also a page with usage instructions. These are intended to make it easier for people with disabilities to use the website.
Images are provided with alternative text.
The purpose of each link is clearly indicated in the link text.
The headings provide a clear structure of the page content.
This website is partially compliant with Section 10(1) of the L-BGG due to the following exceptions.
We are working to ensure the website’s accessibility.
2. Non-Accessible Content
The content listed below is not accessible for the following reasons:
a) Incompatibility with Section 10(1) of the L-BGG
Embedded documents (forms and templates) are largely accessible but not fully designed to be accessible, as this is legally difficult or often impossible. However, a contact person is listed in each section who will be happy to assist you if you encounter any difficulties.
In the case of bylaws and notices, the respective PDF files are considered legally binding documents and therefore cannot be made available in any other format.
Due to the often complex content containing many technical terms, it is not always possible to use simple language.
b) Disproportionate burden
Most of the embedded PDF documents are not yet accessible. We are working to gradually replace these PDF documents (where possible) with accessible PDF documents or HTML content.
The following sections of the website are not yet available in plain language, as this would constitute a disproportionate burden.
- County Council, Europe, Tourism and Leisure, Partnerships
- Youth Services, Care and Senior Citizens, Assistance for Single Parents, Job Center
- Food, Veterinary Services, Nutrition Center
- Transportation, Safety, Public Order
- Environment, Technology, Construction (except for waste)
Links to external websites may lead to content that is not accessible.
