# Krankheitsvertretung — Featured image

**Last Updated:** 2026-03-21

## Scene Type

**desk / planning wall** — Distinct from krankmeldung (often medical/desk AU context) and lohnfortzahlung (payroll documents): here emphasis is **shift handover, wall-mounted week plan, replacement staffing** — operational HR, not clinic imagery.

## Core Concept / Metaphor

Temporary coverage when someone is out: the **schedule board** and **handover** between roles — who covers which slot.

## Key Elements (On-Theme, Concrete)

- Wall-mounted weekly schedule or magnetic board with **empty slot** or moved name card (no readable text)
- Second pair of hands or silhouette adjusting a card — **substitution**, not treatment
- Warm office light, coffee-neutral palette (blues/greens per style guide)

## Why Not (Anti-Patterns)

- No stethoscope, waiting room, or medical cross — avoids confusion with Krankmeldung/AU
- No payslip stack alone — that is Lohnfortzahlung territory
- No abstract nodes, flowing lines, generic stock laptop hero

## Composition / Camera

Slight angle on the planning wall, shallow depth of field; **empty slot** as focal point.

## Mood / Atmosphere

Calm, organized, team-oriented — **coverage under pressure** without chaos.

## Prompt

CRITICAL: The image must contain NO text, letters, typography, signs, or readable content. No documents with writing, no calendars with legible dates, no labels. The image must fill the entire frame with no letterboxing. Output must be exactly 16:9 aspect ratio.

Style: Editorial photography for a German HR blog. Natural texture, soft film-like quality. Muted palette: soft blues, sage green, warm wood or beige accents. Light background. No faces clearly identifiable.

Scene: **Back office or team room** — a **large weekly wall planner or magnetic shift board** with **one blank or reassigned position** (generic colored blocks or magnets, no words). A second person’s hand **places or moves a card** into that slot — visual metaphor for **Krankheitsvertretung** (someone stepping in). Optional: row of hooks with **two lanyards**, one empty — subtle substitute narrative. **Not** a medical setting, **not** payroll paperwork.

Avoid: blue sphere, sundial, generic clock, floating charts, stock laptop close-up, vertical columns of blocks, abstract nodes, flowing lines, pristine empty office, stethoscope, hospital, payslip pile.
