to be stored.

Google Web Fonts
For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided
by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required
web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection
to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was
accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done
in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our
website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art.
6 (1) (f) DSGVO.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used
by your computer.

by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043,

information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA
and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on
this data transfer.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of making our website
appealing and to facilitate the location of places specified by
us on the website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant
