For the creation of the websites
the Bremen Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities Act (Bremisches Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz, BremBGG), Directive (EU) 2016/2102 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 have been used. The accessibility requirements are based on the Harmonised European Standard EN 301 549.
The basic functions (layout, navigation, site structure, mobile view) were evaluated for accessibility throughout their creation process by the web development team of the bremen.online department of the WFB Wirtschaftsförderung Bremen GmbH by making use of the WCAG test and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1.
Revisions are made on a constant basis during ongoing operations.
We aim to make this website as accessible as possible, regardless of technical capabilities and limitations. Therefore, we are constantly improving the user-friendliness of this webpage.
This statement was issued in August 2020 and last updated on June 24, 2025.

Information on the enforcement and arbitration procedure in accordance with § 16 of the Bremen Disability Equality Act
If you are affected by a lack of accessibility when using digital websites and services provided by public bodies, you can contact the Central Office for Accessible Information Technology as the enforcement body for Bremen if you have not received a satisfactory response within the deadline and the barrier still exists. In this case, please use the complaint form to initiate enforcement proceedings.
We strive to make this website as accessible as possible. Nevertheless, it is possible that certain content may not be accessible due to software updates.
With existing technology, we are able to offer barrier-free access on a large scale. However, in rare cases we are not yet able to provide complete accessibility since such content is made available to us by third parties. Due to technical or copyright reasons we are limited in presenting content in an accessible manner. However, we aim to use low-barrier technology in these cases.
The following problems are currently known:
There is currently an accumulation of inaccessible content in the tourism booking portal, which we want to eliminate in discussions:
You can access the individual sections of the accordion by pressing the tab key. To open or close an accordion section, please press the enter key.
Documents and in particular PDF files are generally accessible on the website. Exceptions to this rule may be documents and PDF files that have been made available to us by third parties, which represent an additional offer or whose content is also available as an HTML alternative.
A correct semantic structure has been implemented on the website. Headings are consistently used to subdivide and better structure the web pages. We have added descriptive names to web links in order to make their function understandable. Hidden text has been added to inform you when a link opens a new window or tab in your browser.
The website is equally optimized for different resolutions and provides an optimized display for mobile devices.

Accessibility is provided for online forms in order to ensure unrestricted access to make requests, perform content searches, and carry out interactions.
We have added descriptive alternative text to all informative images (and images of text), while all purely decorative images (such as background images) are equipped with null alternative text to highlight that no alternative text is present.
We usually embed videos via YouTube. We also use our video content from platforms such as Instagram (Reels) and Tiktok. Accessibility cannot be guaranteed here. We endeavour to make this content accessible by labelling it accordingly. You can use the corresponding button on the YouTube player to show or hide existing subtitles or activate the functions of the respective platforms.
We offer an RSS feed that provides you with important information on various subjects.
More and more browsers offer integrated read-aloud functions that read the page aloud to you. In Microsoft Edge, you can have the content read aloud using the key combination CTRL+Shift+U.
There is also a reading mode on some subpages, the plastic reader. This is indicated by a book symbol at the end of the address bar in the browser. If you click on the book, you will see a different view of the main content of the page. You can now have this content read out to you. You can also switch to and from reading mode by pressing the F9 key on the keyboard.
Different image content is displayed in the slider. These images rotate and are changed through a swipe effect. Operating the slider is possible with the keyboard.
