Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH | Lange Nacht der Museen strives to make its web presence barrier-free. The digital accessibility declaration is required by the Berlin Accessible Information and Communication Technology Act (BIKTG Bln). The technical requirements for accessibility result from the BITV 2.0. This declaration on digital accessibility applies to the website langenachtdermuseen.berlin

This declaration was created on 11.06.2024 and last revised on 15.07.2025. The statements in this declaration were last reviewed on 15.07.2025. Compliance with the requirements is currently being checked by an external auditor.

The website is largely compatible with the requirements of BITV 2.0. We are endeavouring to continuously reduce remaining barriers and to eliminate them as far as possible.

1. Sections that are not accessible:

1.1 Missing or incorrect labeling of headings, lists, quotations and foreign languages

Description: Occasionally, the hierarchical order of headings is not adhered to on various subpages, and in some cases quotations are not correctly marked as such in the source text. In individual cases, foreign-language words are not marked as such.

Accessible alternatives: We are not currently aware of any accessible alternatives. We are constantly striving for editorial improvement.

1.2 Missing media alternatives for videos

Description: Short videos are occasionally included on various subpages (e.g. About us) for which there is no media alternative (text, audio).

Accessible alternatives: The videos are animated images with music. The videos do not contain any information that is not also provided on the website in text form. We are constantly striving for editorial improvement.

1.3 PDF documents are not accessible

Description: Provided PDF documents that are in active use and do not have an archive character are not implemented according to the PDF/UA standard and are not accessible.

Accessible alternatives: For the time being, please contact us at [email protected] if you require press releases in the corresponding PDF standard. We are also available by telephone on +49 (0)30 24749-700.

1.4 Use of font graphics

Description: The Long Night of Museums logo is displayed on the website using an image file. This is the logo of the Long Night of Museums, in which the font has a special kerning (undercutting) that cannot be displayed using text styles.

Accessible alternatives: The font graphic is the word/image brand of the Long Night of Museums. The graphic is provided with a corresponding alt text and does not contain any information that is not also provided on the website in text form. We are constantly striving for editorial improvement.

1.5 Missing alt attribute for images

Description: Some images on the homepage (diagonal image slider) and on various subpages (Shuttles, Info) do not have an alt attribute.

Accessible alternatives: These images are decorative images for which the alt attribute should be empty. We are currently working on a technical solution to this barrier.


2. No use case

This content does not fall within the scope of the Barrierefreien IKT Gesetzes Berlin. Exceptions that do not have to be accessible (due to the BIKTG Bln, § 4 paragraph 4)

2.1 Use of online and map services

Description: Map services (Open Street Map) are implemented on the website. These are not fully usable for screen readers, voice input and keyboard operation. The map service is integrated on the program page and on the detail pages of the museums, events and routes. In this case, the information is supplemented by a map.

Accessible alternative: Information on how to get to or visit an event or museum is always provided as text. This means that the essential information for navigation purposes is presented in an accessible way.

2.2 Content from third parties that is neither financed nor developed by Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH nor subject to its control.

Description: The online store is provided via the software of a third-party provider. The third-party providers in question are not obliged to us with regard to the accessibility of their websites. Kulturprojekte Berlin is therefore unable to make structural improvements to the websites.

Accessible alternative: At this point it should be noted that Kulturprojekte Berlin is constantly working and endeavoring to make the offerings of third-party providers more accessible. A significant improvement is expected when the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz comes into force in June 2025. Please feel free to contact us with any questions, order or purchase requests. You can reach us by email at [email protected] and by phone on +49 (0)30 24749-700.

Please contact us if you find content that is inaccessible or difficult to access, is not BITV 2.0-compliant or does not meet general recommendations for website accessibility.
