html, body {
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
  width: 100%;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  font-size: 20px;
}

a {
  text-transform: uppercase;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  font-size: 30px;
  text-decoration: none;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: white;
}

.flex-container {
  display: flex;
  align-self: left;
  flex-direction: row;
  width: 70%;
  height: 100%;
  background-color: white;
  overflow: hidden;
  flex-wrap: wrap-reverse;
  float: right;
}

.flex-content {
  transform: skew(-5.5deg);
  background-color: red;
  height: 33%;
  text-align: center;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 5px 5px 5px 50px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
}

.underlay-box {
  position: absolute;
  width: 20%;
  height: 100%;
  background-color: red;
}

.overlay-box {
  width: 30%;
  height: 100%;
  background-color: red;
  transform: skew(-5.5deg);
  float: left;
}

.gmk {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  border: 2px red solid;
  /*background: url('bild1.jpg'); */
  background-size: cover;
}
<div class="underlay-box"></div>
<div class="overlay-box"></div>
<div class="flex-container">
  <div class="flex-content">
    <div class="gmk"><a href="mediothek.html">A</a></div>
  </div>
  <div class="flex-content"><a href="mediothek.html">B</a></div>
  <div class="flex-content"><a href="mediothek.html">C</a></div>
  <div class="flex-content"><a href="mediothek.html">D</a></div>
  <div class="flex-content"><a href="mediothek.html">E</a></div>
  <div class="flex-content"><a href="mediothek.html">F</a></div>
</div>

Solution

  • I believe the better approach would be to apply the skew on the .flex-container.

    The basic problem is that you are skewing each element on its own so it is skewed in-place. Skewing the container will allow its contents to be skewed as well while following the the outer shape.

    html, body {
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
  width: 100%;
  height:100%;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  font-size: 20px;
}
a {
  text-transform: uppercase;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  font-size: 30px;
  text-decoration: none;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: white;
}

.flex-container {
  display: flex;
  align-self: left;
  flex-direction: row;
  width: 70%;
  height: 100%;
  background-color: white;
  overflow: hidden;
  flex-wrap: wrap-reverse;
  float: right;
  transform: skew(-5.5deg);
}

.flex-content {
  background-color: red;
  height: 33%;
  text-align: center;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 5px 5px 5px 15px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
}

.underlay-box {
  position: absolute;
  width: 20%;
  height: 100%;
  background-color: red;
}

.overlay-box {
  width: 30%;
  height: 100%;
  background-color: red;
  transform: skew(-5.5deg);
  float: left;
}

.gmk {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  border: 2px red solid;
  /*background: url('bild1.jpg'); */
  background-size: cover;
  box-sizing:border-box;
}
    <div class="underlay-box"></div>
<div class="overlay-box"></div>
<div class="flex-container">
  <div class="flex-content">
    <div class="gmk"><a href="mediothek.html">A</a></div>
  </div>
  <div class="flex-content"><a href="mediothek.html">B</a></div>
  <div class="flex-content"><a href="mediothek.html">C</a></div>
  <div class="flex-content"><a href="mediothek.html">D</a></div>
  <div class="flex-content"><a href="mediothek.html">E</a></div>
  <div class="flex-content"><a href="mediothek.html">F</a></div>
</div>
