ACCESSIBILITY

Accessibility Statement

Leipzig Suites GmbH is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with the German Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. As of 28 June 2025, the BFSG requires providers of digital B2C services to ensure accessibility.

Scope

This accessibility statement applies to the website www.leipzig-suites.de and all subpages reachable under this domain.

Compliance Status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. The content listed below is not yet fully accessible for the reasons stated.

Non-accessible content

• Some images may not have sufficiently descriptive alternative text (WCAG 1.1.1 — Non-text content). We are working on completing all alt text.
• Contrast ratios in some decorative areas (e.g. overlay text on image backgrounds) may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA requirements (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and UI elements).
• Animations and scroll effects can be distracting for some users. The website respects the prefers-reduced-motion system setting (WCAG 2.3.3). A site-internal toggle to disable all animations is not yet implemented.
• External content (in particular the Mews booking system at app.mews.com) is subject to the accessibility responsibility of the respective third-party provider.
• PDF documents, where present, may not be fully accessibility-formatted (WCAG 4.1.1).

Technical accessibility information

The website uses the following accessibility technologies:

• Semantic HTML5 with correct heading hierarchy (h1–h4)
• ARIA attributes (aria-label, aria-hidden, role) for interactive elements
• Full keyboard navigation for all essential functions
• Visible focus indicator on all focusable elements
• Responsive design for all screen sizes and devices
• Scalable font sizes (no fixed pixel values for body text)
• Respect for the prefers-reduced-motion system setting

• Lang attribute on the HTML element

Preparation and review of this statement

This statement was prepared on 21 March 2026 and last reviewed on 21 March 2026. The assessment is based on a self-evaluation using the following methods:

• Automated check with Google Lighthouse Accessibility Score
