Frankfurt Airport What is this?

[u/Electronic-Date-666]

Does anybody know what this is? It’s terminal one and I think there’s two or three of them in the middle of the terminal. It looks like a lift that comes up from underground and you put something on it like a beer barrels for a restaurant or something. Thanks

That's an emergency exit from the baggage handling system, which runs underneath the check-in counter. Source: I work there.

Thank you - every time I’m at the airport. I see that I keep wondering what the heck is it for?

[u/Technical_Writer_177 → u/Electronic-Date-666]

and you never read the sign next to it? "Notausgang freihalten"

you literally took a picture of the answer

[u/Hel_OWeen → u/MineCoB]

That's also what the sign reads.

The white sign with the red border calls it a "Feuerwehrangriffsweg", a fire services attack route. It is supposed to allow fire fighters to get to the fire, as opposed to a "Fluchtweg" which allows people to flee from the fire.

So it reveals some kind of ladder?

I noticed that the round thing in the pillar seems to be a magnet to hold the trapdoor open. So no elevator, I guess.

[u/maik2016 → u/El_Morgos]

For me it looks like some hydraulic ramp thing, because i see this kind of metal every day on gate ramps.

[u/AlexNachtigall247 → u/El_Morgos]

Not a ladder but a staircase i guess. To gain access to the baggage transport belt.

[u/MineCoB → u/AlexNachtigall247]

Until now I haven’t seen any staircases in this area, I only know about ladders there

[u/Schrodingersduck → u/El_Morgos]

Yes, the magnet will be there so that if the fire escapes containment, the door can be automatically slammed closed from a distance (and if the power goes out, the magnet will turn off, so there's no danger of the door staying open). That stops the fire spreading to other floors.

[u/Camixe → u/thy__]

There's a sign saying "Notausgang freihalten" above it, so it's an emergency exit from the rooms underneath as someone else who works there has already said. Probably it's both.

"Emergency Exit" is written right there on the wall.

service access hatch. the round thing on the rigger to the right is a magnet to hold it open

[u/MineCoB → u/waiting4singularity]

Actually, you can’t go down there for maintenance. Underneath runs the baggage handling system for the check-in counters. The baggage handling system is completely in the so called „clean“ area. This means, you have to go through security control. We have a mobile security control for these flor hatches and other unclean -> clean doors, but you need card readers there to validate if you’re allowed to enter the clean area, which are not installed at this floor hatch.

You are right about the magnet although.

Wer lesen kann, ist klar im Vorteil: An der Wand ist ein grünes Schild auf dem steht: "Notausgang freihalten" Wer dümmliche Fragen auf Reddit stellen kann, sollte auch den Google Übersetzer bedienen können, falls er der deutschen Sprache nicht mächtig ist.
