You could look at the certificate your browser doesn't trust and
follow up the information it contains. You could also search the
internet (and other sources) for information about Intevation GmbH,
and see if it matches what the certificate says. Depending how
paranoid, you could even turn up at their offices and ask relevant
questions.

Decide on the trust level you wish to establish for your intended use
of the site. Then take whatever precautions you think are commensurate
with that level of trust.

Blindly clicking to dismiss the browser's "untrusted" warning is
arguably no more irresponsible than blindly having the browser accept
a certificate signed by a "certification authority" it recognises. I
suspect if you were to look at the list of CAs trusted by your
browser, you would encounter plenty that you see no reason to trust.
