They are quite rare actually. I have never seen one (living in Germany all my life). You'd have to actively seek one out to encounter them.


This is exactly my experience. I think the only existing ones are preserved for historic reasons.

This being said, according to German Wikipedia in May 2015 there were still 240 paternosters in operation. You can browse the list at: http://www.flemming-hamburg.de/patlist.htm


Thanks to your list I realized there is one in a building I walk by almost every week. Guess I'll be riding a Paternoster soon :-)
