The pages are structured uniformly, and the navigation and content are divided into separate areas. The structure is divided by headings.

Contents

Changing font size

You can configure the font size individually in the browser according to your viewing habits. The specific options for adjusting settings vary depending on the browser used.

PDF documents

You need a pdf reader to be able to read documents in Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF readers are integrated as a fixed element of all common browsers.

We have been offering barrier-free PDFs since May 2009. All barrier-free PDFs are marked with a note (barrier-free). Please feel free to contact us if you would like an older PDF document or publication to be barrier-free (please quote: Barrier-free PDF)

A small number of documents are not barrier-free for a variety of reasons. These are marked accordingly.
