DE: In der Ortschaft Schönenberg, einem Ortsteil der Kreisstadt Ruppichteroth im Bergischen Land, steht an der Bundesstraße B478 eine rote Telefonzelle. Die Telefonzelle im Design "K6" wurde 1988 von Robert Lehmann als Verbindungssymbol zur Partnerstadt Longdendale für 250 britische Pfund erworben und tat bis Anfang der 2010er Jahre am "Longdendale Platz" genannten Abschnitt zwischen Bergstraße und Rathausstraße ihren Dienst als öffentlicher Fernsprecher. Danach war sie ausser Betrieb.

Zum 40. Jährigen Jubiläum der Städetpartnerschaft im Sommer 2018 wurde sie dann fachmännisch restauriert und zum öffentlichen Bücherschrank umfunktioniert.

EN: In the village of Schönenberg, a district of the town of Ruppichteroth in the region Bergisches Land, there is a red telephone booth on the B478 federal road. The "K6" design telephone booth was purchased by Robert Lehmann in 1988 as a symbol of the connection to the twin town Longdendale for 250 British pounds and served as a public telephone on the section called "Longdendale Platz" between Bergstrasse and Rathausstrasse until the beginning of the 2010s. After that it was out of order.

For the 40th anniversary of the city partnership in summer 2018, it was professionally restored and converted into a public bookcase.
