Ranking in the Atlas of Digital Accessibility for the website

Landshut, a city in Bavaria, Germany, has made a significant stride in digital accessibility, scoring an impressive 5 out of 5 possible points in the "Atlas of Digital Barrier-Free Access." This achievement places Landshut among an elite group of just four municipalities in the region, including three other cities in Bavaria, that have achieved the same maximum score.

The "Atlas of Digital Barrier-Free Access," the largest civil society initiative for state transparency in website accessibility, conducted the evaluation. The test, which was carried out by individuals with various disabilities, assessed digital content and services based on criteria such as adjustable font size, text-to-speech function, and the ability to make an appointment for a personal ID in less than three minutes.

In a nationwide test involving approximately 11,000 municipalities, only 3% managed to achieve the maximum score for digital barrier-free access. The average score for Bavaria was 1.64 points, highlighting Landshut's commitment to digital inclusion and participation for its citizens.

The city's administration sees this high score as confirmation and motivation for continuous development and optimization of their online presence. The city aims to make its digital content and services accessible to as many citizens as possible. In line with this commitment, the city administration is dedicated to maintaining and improving the offers to ensure a barrier-free digital experience for all.
