doc: Salzburg is a great elevator city. The funicular up the mountain to the Hohensalzburg fortress that you recall is similar to the "inclines" in Pittsburgh and Angels Flight in L.A. They also have the "Moenchsberg Aufzug" which is an old elevator that ascends through a mountain to take you to the Cafe Winkler overlooking the city. At the top of that elevator, you can observe (and hear!) the motors that operate those lifts. One of the few elevator machine rooms that are open to public display.

Does anybody know what happened to the former Holiday Inn in Augsburg, Germany? It was a 30 story cylindrical tower that was a combination hotel-apartment building which was a showcase for a local elevator company. There were brochures in the rooms boasting about the various models of elevators used throughout the building. It's no longer a Holiday Inn...what is it now?
