Destruction caused by graffiti: hoist at the construction crane
The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden has issued a press release announcing that an elevator at a location in the city will be out of service for repairs. The elevator, which was installed in August 2024, connects the Kransand area on the Rhine and the traffic hub at the bridgehead, offering a direct, barrier-free connection for those boarding and disembarking at the bus stop "Mainz-Kastel Bridgehead".
Unfortunately, the elevator was severely damaged due to vandalism in June, causing significant disruption to the area. The total repair costs for the damage are estimated to be around 6,000 euros. Despite efforts to provide information about the current operational status during the repair period, no details were given in the press release.
The repair of the damaged automatic doors is expected to take approximately twelve weeks. During this time, the operation of the elevator will not be possible. The press office website, www.wiesbaden.de/pressereferat, provides more information about the press office and its activities.
The elevator is particularly advantageous for people with mobility restrictions, as it aids in overcoming a significant height difference. The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden can be contacted at Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden, for further queries or updates regarding the repair progress. The destruction of the elevator in June remains unsolved, with no information about the name of the person or organization responsible for it.
The repair of the elevator is expected to restore a valuable service to the community, ensuring the continuity of accessible transportation for all. The city of Wiesbaden continues to work towards improving its infrastructure and ensuring the safety and convenience of its residents.
