Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

In this subdomain-site, the static map will apear without key: http://ag16.stewede.ch/thom.html

The same html code, but another domain: http://praxisgemeinschaftamgleis.ch/thom.html

the map is broken and gives back the above mentioned error. Why is that so? Thanks, Stefan

PS: The first link works fine without a key. Now I've added one to the second link. But also with a key. It won't work! What's wrong here?

You need to use API keys.

In praxisgemeinschaftamgleis.ch the request for the map gets this error response from the API:

The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This service requires an API key.

This is new, since June 22, 2016.
