However, it may be used free of charge by anyone, provided that the conditions of the Creative Commons License “Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International” (CC BY-SA 4.0) are met. These provide, among other things, the naming of the author and the license as well as the setting of a hyperlink to the license text or its complete reprint. The naming should be set as specified by me, the author:

Please read the text of the license carefully before using the photography. If you do not understand the license text or do not agree with the terms, please refrain from using the photography. If you do not comply with the license terms, you do not acquire the right to use the photography. If you need a different license for use, please contact me before use.

Information about the license can be found in the section Licensing or as generally understandable summary or as complete license text at Creative Commons. When using, in addition to the above information, a hyperlink to the source – so this page with the descriptions and license terms – is desirable. Further information or application examples can be found at Reusing content outside Wikimedia (with image example).

The metadata of the file (IPTC / XMP) must not be removed or changed (§ 95c UrhG, “Protection of rights management information”).

From printed matter and other material products that use this photography, the user is asked to send me a copy as a thank you. However, this is not a condition for the use of photography. The postal address can be requested via the contact options.

Please note that I had a significant effort to make this photography. Therefore, it can only be fair to comply with the terms of the free license listed here. In case of non-compliance with the license conditions, the granted rights of use understandably expire automatically.

Please note that the granting of the rights from the license relates exclusively to the photography itself, but not on the rights to the depicted object (e.g. copyright or property rights) or the personality rights of any persons depicted. I do not assume that the further use of photography intended by you is legally possible with regard to the depicted object or the depicted person. You are responsible for checking and observing these rights when publishing in the respective medium or country.

I do not guarantee the accuracy of the information given here (description, title, etc.). The general disclaimer applies.
