This statement was updated on July 09, 2025.
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 Rhineland-Palatinate Inclusion Act (Landesinklusionsgesetz, InklG RP) and the Decree on Barrier-Free Information Technology Rhineland-Palatinate (Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung Rheinland-Pfalz, BITV RP).
Current conformity with the requirements of the 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 than that planned would represent a disproportionate burden on Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz as defined in section 7 subsection 3 LGGBehM, thus making it currently exempt from the obligation to provide the accessibility specified in section 7 subsection 1 LGGBehM.
