Digital accessibility: Bernau sets new standards for all users!
Find out how Bernau near Berlin promotes digital accessibility and improves user-friendliness. News from January 20, 2026.
Digital accessibility: Bernau sets new standards for all users!
Well, what’s new in the Bernau train station passage? After a year, the discounter Weber is closing its doors. This reports Bernau LIVE, and that casts a shadow over the shopping opportunities of local residents. From now on, finding a new tenant for the location will also be a challenge.
Weber established itself in the arcade a year ago and enriched the shopping landscape. Now the population is looking forward to further developments. The closure raises the question: Who will move in next? Or could the passage even become a ghost zone? There are great concerns and the dramatic withdrawal leaves many puzzled.
Digital accessibility in view
The goal: All users should be able to use the Bernau LIVE website without any hurdles. According to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), attention is paid to visibility, usability, comprehensibility and robustness. Regular reviews and the integration of a OneTap accessibility tool make it possible for people with visual impairments or other limitations to also use the website.
A call for inclusion
The importance of digital accessibility cannot be overemphasized. It enables a self-determined life for people with disabilities and ensures equal rights on the internet. It would be desirable for potential new tenants of the Bernau train station passage to also take these values seriously and integrate barrier-free access into their plans.
Entrepreneurs and developers are challenged: awareness and training are the key to better digital accessibility. The benefits are compelling: an inclusive website increases reach and improves the user experience. Anyone who doesn't think barrier-free these days is missing the opportunity to appeal to a broader user base.
Let's put our thoughts on the future tenants for the Bahnhofspassage aside for now and focus on what's important: digital accessibility must be promoted. Those interested can also find information about this at Woxow. Here are tips for implementation that every website operator can use to improve user-friendliness.
