The publisher and creator assume no liability for the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the publisher and creator relating to material or immaterial damages caused by the use or non-use of the information provided, or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are generally excluded, unless the publisher and creator can be proven to have acted with intent or gross negligence.

2. References and links

In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites ("hyperlinks") that lie outside the author's area of ​​responsibility, liability would only apply if the publisher and creator had knowledge of the content and it was technically possible and reasonable for them to prevent its use in the case of illegal content. The publisher and creator hereby expressly declare that no illegal content was identifiable on the linked pages at the time the links were created. The publisher and creator have no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked/referenced pages. Therefore, they hereby expressly distance themselves from all content of all linked/referenced pages that were changed after the links were created. This statement applies to all links and references within their own website as well as to external entries. The provider of the linked page is solely liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and in particular for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information, not the person who merely provides links to the respective publication.

3. Copyright and Trademark Law

The author strives to respect the copyrights of all images, graphics, audio recordings, video sequences, and texts used in all publications, to use images, graphics, audio recordings, video sequences, and texts created by the author, or to utilize royalty-free graphics, audio recordings, video sequences, and texts. All trademarks and brands mentioned within this website and possibly protected by third parties are subject without restriction to the provisions of the applicable trademark law and the ownership rights of the respective registered owners. The mere mention of a trademark does not imply that it is not protected by third-party rights! The copyright for published material created by the author remains solely with the author of the pages. Reproduction or use of such graphics, audio recordings, video sequences, and texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author's express consent.

4. Data protection

If the option to enter personal or business data (email addresses, names, addresses) exists within this website, the disclosure of this data by the user is expressly voluntary. Use of the website is permitted – insofar as technically possible and reasonable – even without providing such data, or by providing anonymized data or a pseudonym. The use of my contact details published within the legal notice or similar information, such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and email addresses, by third parties for sending unsolicited information is prohibited. Legal action against senders of so-called spam emails in violation of this prohibition is expressly reserved.

5. Google Analytics and Google Maps

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

As an alternative to the browser add-on, or when using browsers on mobile devices, please click the following link to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website in the future (the opt-out only works in this browser and only for this domain). This will place an opt-out cookie on your device. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you will need to click this link again: Disable Google Analytics

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/ . Please note that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended with the code "anonymizeIp" to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

This website uses the Google Maps API, a map service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"), to display an interactive map. By using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. Google may transfer the information obtained through Analytics & Maps to third parties if required to do so by law, or if third parties process this data on Google's behalf. Google will under no circumstances associate your IP address with other Google data. Nevertheless, it would be technically possible for Google to identify individual users based on the data received. It is possible that Google could process personal data and user profiles for other purposes over which we have no control. This, and the fact that data is transferred to the USA, is problematic from a data protection perspective.

6. YouTube

Our website uses YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, to embed videos. Normally, when you visit a page with embedded videos, your IP address is sent to YouTube and cookies are installed on your computer. However, we have embedded our YouTube videos using the enhanced privacy mode (in this case, YouTube still contacts Google's DoubleClick service, but according to Google's privacy policy, no personal data is evaluated). This means that YouTube no longer stores information about visitors unless they watch the video. If you click on the video, your IP address will be transmitted to YouTube, and YouTube will know that you have watched the video. If you are logged into YouTube, this information will also be associated with your user account (you can prevent this by logging out of YouTube before watching the video). We have no knowledge of, nor any influence over, the subsequent collection and use of your data by YouTube. Further information can be found in YouTube's privacy policy at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ . For general information on the use and deactivation of cookies, please refer to our general explanation in this privacy policy.

This disclaimer is to be regarded as part of the internet publication from which you were referred to this page. If sections or individual terms of this statement are not legal or correct, the content or validity of the other parts remain unaffected.
