Images not rendered in alternative language

[Yonz]

Hi,

I defined two languages in my hugo.yaml file English (Default) and German

theme: 
  - github.com/theNewDynamic/gohugo-theme-ananke
languageCode: 'en-us'
DefaultContentLanguage: en 
languages:
  en:
    title: 'My Company'
    weight: 1
    languageName: English
  de:
    title: 'Meine Firma'
    weight: 2
    languageName: Deutsch

I have two markdown files ("offering.md", and "offering.de.md"), both have the following content:

...
![Placeholder for Offerings Image](images/Offerings_16x9.png)

## Our Offerings
...

The placeholder is, in both language versions, rendered as:

<img src="images/Offerings_16x9.png" alt="Placeholder for Offerings Image">

however the base URL for the German has an de at the end, so when I switch to German, the browser is looking for the image at http://127.0.0.1:1313/de/images/Offerings_16x9.png and of course not finding it. As it is actually located at http://127.0.0.1:1313/images/Offerings_16x9.png

How can I fix that?

Any help will be much appreciated

p.s.
I'm running this on Github CodeSpace:
