global element that is displayed in the same way on all pages
only changes between responsive viewports
in the mobile version, the meta-navigation (simple language, user area, language selector) are moved to a burger menu and not displayed in the initial header
- the search field moves to the second line below the logo and extends over the full width of the view port

Changes

Epic:
added icon for sign language
- redirects User to a page with a video for sign language
- gained a tooltip
the idea of removing the sign language and simple language icons for the english frontend was considered, but it was decided against it
added a "Skip to Main Content" button for Accessibility
