The paternoster – “an endangered species”. Take a round in a nostalgic elevator. Sightsseing with style. Discover Berlin.
The wonderful wodden cabins move in a certain smooth speed. And the sound while they shift to the other side at the bottom and the top are peculiar for the manual skills of the elevator.
While the majority of the paternosters were shut down. A few are still in use. I will take you with me to two which you can use.
Events / Tours by appointment. Operating times: Monday – Friday: 9am – 4pm.
A first appointment is set to December 06, 2011. For details and the booking have a look to: https://gidsy.com/activities/5087/take-a-round-in-a-paternoster-elevator
