Inhalt: Accessibility statement
The following information complies with German legislation. We provide this translation for your convenience, the German original Erklärung zur Barrierefreiheit is binding.
The Julius Kühn Institute – Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants (JKI) is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with national legislation implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
This statement on accessibility (last updated on 22 Nov 2024) applies to the version of the website www.julius-kuehn.de currently available on the internet.
Our website was updated in 2023 and is largely accessible. However, it is not yet fully barrier-free in details and therefore does not yet meet all the standards of BITV (Ordinance on Accessible Information Technology). We are in the process of improving this gradually.
Non-accessible content
Most of our downloadable documents (PDF, DOC(X), XLS(X)) are not barrier-free. These are older documents. They will not be subsequently revised. We have set ourselves the goal of offering accessible PDF files in the future (it is very difficult to reliably achieve this level), but rather low-barrier PDF files or to provide the content in HTML format.
The following distinction is made for documents for download:
- without labelling: not barrier-free
- with labelling: low-barrier
Our videos are not barrier-free. We will endeavour to make these accessible in the future. Many images are not barrier-free. However, all new images will be labelled with alternative texts in future.

Arbitration procedure
The Federal Government Commissioner For Matters relating to Persons with Disabilities offers an arbitration service set up in accordance with Section 16 of the German Act on Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (BGG). The purpose of this arbitration service is to settle disputes which arise between persons with disabilities and federal public authorities.
If you have reported an accessibility problem with our website, but you are not happy with our response, you can contact the arbitration service. The aim is then to resolve the conflict together, by extrajudicial means, with the aid of the arbitration service.
The arbitration procedure is free of charge and you do not need legal counsel.
Please go to the website of the Arbitration Service to find comprehensive information about the arbitration procedure. There you can find information on how an arbitration procedure works and how you can submit an application requesting the initiation of an arbitration procedure.
