ThyssenKrupp traction glass elevator at the MyZeil in Frankfurt

Although the cabs have rear doors, these elevators serve all the public levels via the front entrance. The rear one is probably only used on higher, non-public floors. The buttonpanels inside the cabs suggest these elevators only go as far as floor four. But in fact, they go further, as for instance there are entrances to them on the fifth floor. Also, there are two unmarked buttons above the button marked "4", which seem to be used for two additional floors.
MyZeil is a very futuristic shopping center that has an "express" escalator going straight up from ground floor to the fourth floor (five floors travel distance). Its façade looks like the building has a hole in it. Here you can see some photos of the structure: http://www.pbase.com/dyphotono1/my_zeil.
