Escalator Edition

Frankfurt's MyZeil shopping centre is home to the longest indoor cantilever escalator in Europe.

A DJ booth was built on top of this escalator so that selected guests could listen and watch from each floor under Covid-19 hygiene regulations. The escalator thus offers a club with five floors, a height of around 30 metres, and with a DJ who is transported to the individual areas during his show - this has never been done before anywhere in the world!

Gaudeamus igitur, iuvenes dum sumus; post iucundam iuventutem, post molestam senectutem nos habebit humus.

Ubi sunt, qui ante nos in mundo fuere? Vadite ad superos, vadite ad inferos ubi iam fuere.Vita nostra brevis est, brevi finietur.

Venit mors velociter, rapit nos atrociter, nemini parcetur.
