Disproportionate burden
Subareas that are not designed to be barrier-free because it would be a disproportionate burden (BremBGG ยง 13 (5)):
Subarea: contrasts
Description: The contrast between text color and background color is insufficient for a few elements.
Execution why disproportionate burden exists: The HIFMB builds its corporate design on the corporate design colors of its parent institutes, the University of Oldenburg and the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, in order to visually emphasize that they belong together. These colors are also used in the design of the website. It is a disproportionate burden to change the corporate design of two organizations in significant respects.
