Damage resulting from graffiti or destruction: hoist at the construction crane

The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden has announced that an elevator located at the Mainz-Kastel Bridgehead, offering a significant advantage in overcoming a height difference, will be undergoing repairs due to severe damage caused by vandalism in June.

The incident resulted in significant damage to the automatic doors of the elevator, and the repair costs are estimated to be around 6,000 euros. During the repair period, the operation of the elevator will not be technically possible.

The elevator provides a direct, barrier-free connection between the Kransand area on the Rhine and the traffic hub at the bridgehead, making it particularly advantageous for those boarding and disembarking at the bus stop. It is also beneficial for people with mobility restrictions.

The elevator was installed in August 2024, and the repair of the damaged automatic doors is expected to take approximately twelve weeks. However, no information was provided about the elevator's current operational status or any connection to the previously mentioned damages or repairs.

Citizens with questions regarding the elevator can contact the responsible department or office. The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden is located at Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden.

For more information, the press release can be found on the website www.wiesbaden.de/de/stadt/pressemitteilungen.

It is worth noting that the press release does not provide any information about the helicopter port in Mainz-Kastel, for which no information about the cause of the damage in June was found in the search results.

The vandalism incident underscores the importance of respecting public property and the inconvenience such incidents can cause to the community. The State Capital Wiesbaden urges anyone with information about the incident to contact the appropriate authorities.
