1. Introduction
Weinheimer Leder GmbH is committed to making its website and mobile applications accessible in accordance with legal requirements. This is based on the legal requirements of the German Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG), in particular Section 3 BFSG, and the Accessibility Ordinance (BFV). The accessibility requirements also result from Section 14 BFSG in conjunction with Section 3 (1) BFSG and the BFV. These regulations transpose Directive (EU) 2019/882 on accessibility requirements for products and services into national law.
The specific technical measures are based on the guidelines of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 with conformity levels A and AA.
This accessibility statement applies to the website weinheimer-leder.com.
2. Status of accessibility
This website is partially accessible, as not all requirements are fully met.
3. Non-accessible content
a) Technical barriers
Incomplete HTML structure: For example, <h1> headings are not used consistently or form fields are not correctly linked to <label> elements.
b) Barriers to content
Non-accessible PDF and Office documents: These documents often have a lack of semantic structure, non-accessible tables or insufficient alternative text.
c) Disproportionate burden
According to Article 5 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102, an exception can be made for certain content due to a disproportionate burden.
Despite extensive efforts, we are currently unable to make the following content fully accessible:
Many of the PDF and Word documents published before 28 June 2025 do not meet the accessibility requirements. They often lack a clear structure, meaningful alternative texts for images or contain complex tables whose accessible preparation would require considerable human and technical resources.
We endeavour to make new documents accessible as a matter of principle. If you require a specific document in an accessible version, please contact us – we will provide you with this if possible.
4. Further information on the accessibility of the service
General description of the service
Weinheimer Leder GmbH is a traditional leather manufacturer with over 150 years of experience. The company offers a high-quality collection of shoes, handbags and leather goods. Particularly noteworthy is the special “Olivvia” product line, in which the leather is produced using a natural tanning process. A central element of the company’s philosophy is the combination of craftsmanship, environmental awareness and transparency.
The website is used to present products, philosophy and production culture and is aimed at both private customers and trade partners.
Descriptions and explanations of how the service is provided
Visitors to the website will find information on the product range and corporate philosophy. The collection can be explored according to product groups such as shoes, handbags or special leather goods. The company also provides information on sustainable production, environmental certificates and delivery conditions.
The product presentation is structured with image and text content as well as descriptions of the origin and processing of the leather. E-mail addresses and telephone contact details are provided for contact purposes.
The content of the website is predominantly clearly organised and presented in text form. If the use of individual interactive components – such as the image gallery or contact forms – is technically restricted, the company will also provide all information in alternative, accessible formats on request, for example by e-mail or as an accessible document.
