Content Warning
The free and accessible content of this website was created with the greatest possible care. However, the provider of this website assumes no liability for the accuracy or topicality of the content. Contributions marked by name reflect the opinion of the respective author and not always the opinion of the provider. Simply by accessing the free and accessible content, no contractual relationship is created between the user and the provider; in this respect, the provider has no desire to be legally bound.
This website contains links to third party websites (“external links”). These websites are subject to the liability of the respective operators. When the external links were first linked, the provider checked the external content to see whether there were any legal violations. At the time, no legal violations were apparent. The provider has no influence on the current and future design or content of the linked pages. Setting external links does not mean that the provider adopts the content behind the reference or link as its own. It is unreasonable for the provider to constantly monitor external links without concrete evidence of legal violations. However, if we become aware of legal violations, such external links will be deleted immediately.
The content published on this website is subject to German copyright and ancillary copyright law.
