Telefonzelle

The Telefonzelle is a telephone booth at the Platz. It is about 4.78 meters away from the Pavillon between the Spielplatz and Weydingerstraße. It is run by Deutsche Telekom. It has nine buttons and a pink handset. It has a roof made of glass, so it is very suitable for a phone call when the weather is bad. However, it now only has one side wall (left) and it is often a bit damaged (see illustration). Otherwise it is quite reliable and is used 0.5-0.6 times per week (measurement period: April 2020). The average duration of the calls is 3.04 minutes. 
==History==
 Just like the Litfaßsäule, it changed its position over time. In 1940 the Fernsprecher, a previous version of the Telefonzelle, was on the other side of the street at the entrance of the then Horst-Wessel-Haus. It was still there in 1950 (or again?) And, unlike everyone else (except the Volksbühne), it still had the same name. In 1955, however, it had already disappeared again for the time being.
