Destruction from graffiti: crane's hoisting device
In the heart of Wiesbaden, a city known for its vibrant atmosphere and bustling traffic, a recent act of vandalism has disrupted the daily routine of many. The elevator that connects the Kransand area on the Rhine with the traffic hub at the bridgehead has been out of service since June, following significant damage.
The elevator, inaugurated in August 2024, offers a direct, barrier-free connection, making it particularly advantageous for those using the bus stop "Mainz-Kastel Bridgehead" and mobility-impaired individuals. However, vandalism caused severe damage, leading to repair costs estimated at around 6,000 euros.
The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden has confirmed that the repair of the damaged automatic doors is expected to take approximately twelve weeks. This means the elevator will remain out of service during this period, affecting thousands of commuters daily.
The elevator's absence is not the only consequence of the vandalism. The operation of the elevator does not affect the repair of the automatic doors or the inoperability of the elevator during the repair period. This means that the repair work is independent, ensuring a swift return of the essential service.
Citizens with queries regarding the elevator can contact the responsible department or office. The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden, located at Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden, can also be reached via their website at https://www.wiesbaden.de/de/stadt/pressemitteilungen/.
While the elevator is out of service, alternative routes are available for commuters. The city encourages patience and understanding during this difficult time and looks forward to the elevator's swift return to service.
