Uplifting Tour at St. Agatha hospital in Köln, Germany

Tour of the elevators - one nice OTIS, one elevator without inner doors and something more...
The St. Agatha Hospital in Cologne-Niehl is a very old building. This building has been extended in the 1990's.
And there is also the administration building with a kitchen in it.
The hospital now unites several centuries of architecture and the best one is gothic revival!
The main elevators are very boring, they are from 1995. The best elevator was locked off. It has got two doors but one isn't in use.
It has been walled of. This elevator is now bed-only and staff-only. This elevator doesn't serve the floors 2 and 3 any longer.
This elevator seems to be very important in the past and now it isn't any longer.
One beautiful old elevator is now closed forever, this was very sad.
If you want to film the elevators in this hospital: Be careful! Don't let leading staff members see you filming, they don't tolerate that. They also don't give you any permission to ride the nice old locked off Flohr-OTIS elevator. Other staff is rather friendly and doesn't mind.

Das St. Agatha-Krankenhaus in Köln-Niehl ist ein sehr altes Gebäude. Es wurde mehrmals erweitert, zuletzt in den 1990'ern.
Es gibt auch ein Verwaltungsgebäude mit der Krankenhausküche aus den 1960'er-Jahren.
Das Krankenhaus vereinigt Baustile mehrerer Epochen unter einem Dach. Die Beste ist zweifellos die Neugotik des Altbaus.
Die Hauptaufzüge sind langweilig, sie stammen aus 1995. Der beste Aufzug war typischerweise abgeschlossen. Der Aufzug hat zwei
Türen, davon ist eine nun ohne Funktion. Die Schachttüren sind noch vorhanden, doch vor ihne wurde eine Wandhochgezogen.
Vermutlich hatte dieser Aufzug früher eine höhere Bedeutung als Heute. Auch bedient er die Etagen 2 und 3 nicht mehr. Dieser
schöne Aufzug ist nun nur ein Schatten seiner selbst und ohne Schlüssel kommt man nicht an ihn heran.

Really nice Lifts need to go again with better quality can give you all keys needed .

[@georgef551]

No problem.
Scotch Tape also helps on very windy days. Cover the mic holes with a layer. It'll be a little muffled, but you can work in twice the winds speed.

there are photocells in the door space. When you touch them while the lift is moving, it immediately stops. Before you can start again, you first need to press the reset button.

[@PostTower]

hmmm, I'll try to get one, have got some time left in the following weekend... thank you!

[@georgef551]

Your camera is like my Flips: Extinct. :)

[@georgef551]

I'm just talking about a single layer of Scotch Tape. It'll quiet things down to a degree, and you can still press the buttons.

[@PostTower]

the Hopmann-lifts have had their floor 5 locked off. The key, which fits in here is a small CES key. It is labeled as KR1 (or it could also be KR2 or KR3, I don't really remember which one of the KR's was the right one)

unfortunately these are the main buttons to operate the camera. They are rather loose, but as they are the main buttons, I can't detach them. I now started using my finger to keep it in place, but that's rather complicated. I've also made the videos abit more quiet.
The camera is of a cheap quality, sadly no chance to buy a new one very soon, so I've to arrange with my current one :/

[@PostTower]

I can try that, but the space there is very small. If the tape's thickness is too much, the buttons become unpressable. Better to use finger as I currently do and in the future, to buy a new camera.

[@georgef551]

Like the presentation, not-so-much the very annoying clicking impact sounds from whatever's attached to the camera.
As I say to Cubsrule2040, please detatch whatever is on it...PLEASE....:)

[@georgef551]

I know it'll not look good, but why not use some tape to hold them in?
The videos may come out (a lot) better.

Isn't this shafaer touch buttons?

[@Dominikmunks]
