The elevator's list of floors

In the afternoon, I walked to Osnabrück Central, took the train to Essen, the tram to Essen/Berliner Platz, which leads right into the Limberger Platz shopping mall.

The elevator lists eight floors, and I worked myself through them bottom-to-top, reaching the Geohash on four of them:

Arrow4.png TG: The sub-basement only contains the connection to the subway system and does not stretch east enough to cover the coordinates.

Arrow2.png UG: The basement contains all sorts of stores, including a Rewe supermarket which contains the coordinates. I located the coordinates next to a shelf of soft drinks, and recorded proof. What surprised me most was my relatively good GNSS reception.

  • The supermarket

  • Proof

  • The Geohash

  • The site of the Geohash

Arrow4.png ZG: The semibasement does not cover the entire building, but only one of the entrances, and does not include the coordinates. I did not even notice this floor on my way from the basement to the ground floor.

Arrow4.png EG: The ground floor contains a variety of stores again. I though that the coordinates would be in Sport Vosswinkel, a store selling sports wear, but even at the westernmost part of the store I was too far east. Similarly, in the Zara clothing store to the west, I was too far west. The coordinates must have been in the emergency exit between the stores, which I could not access.

  • The sports wear store which did not contain the coordinates

  • The emergency door

  • The emergency plan shows that there is a slot between the stores

Arrow2.png OG: The second floor contains different stores again, including a Saturn electronics store, which contained the Geohash. I located the coordinates among some microwaves and refrigerators, and recorded proof.

  • The electronics store

  • Proof

  • The Geohash

  • The site of the Geohash

Arrow2.png P1: The Saturn has an additional floor, stretching upwards into a floor otherwise used for parking. Among some TV screens, I located the coordinates and recorded proof. Afterwards, I left the store and went into the proper first parking floor, but of course could not reach the coordinates there since there was a wall behind which must have been the Saturn.

  • Proof

  • The Geohash

  • The site of the Geohash

  • A map shows that the parking area does not cover the coordinates

Arrow2.png P2: The second parking floor unsurprisingly contains lots of cars, among which I was able to locate the coordinates and record proof.

  • Proof

  • The Geohash

  • The site of the Geohash

  • Looking up towards P3

  • A map of the floor

Arrow4.png P3: The third parking floor is the roof of the building, and besides parking space has some additional structures. One of those, possibly used for ventilarion, covers the coordinates, and since I did not find a way to climb on top or get inside, so I did not reach the coordinates at this level. I did however have a really nice view of Essen!

  • The site of the Geohash, the coordinates being on top of the structure

  • Northward view

  • Westward view

  • A map of the floor shows a five-sided structure at the coordinates

  • Surroundings

Afterwards, I left the mall, took the tram to Essen Central, the train to Osnabrück Central and walked back home.

  • GeorgDerReisende, remember the double white wall in the background

  • escape and rescue plan, the rectangle down right marks a window in the roof

  • the window from inside

  • plan to find out or so

  • the shopping center
