Severely disabled applicants with the same qualifications will be given preference. As soon as
the application of a severely disabled person is received, the representative body for severely
disabled persons at the location is automatically involved in the application process by the
recruiter in accordance with section 164 (1) sentence 6 of the German Social Code IX (SGB
IX) and, as far as possible, is present at the interviews. Unless the severely disabled applicant
rejects this (Section 164 (1) sentence 10 SGB IX). § Section 178 (2) SGB IX remains
