Kiosken på torvet - København, Danmark - There's a Book About It on Waymarking.com

Kiosken på torvet af Ib Spang Olsen er en børnebog om damen i kiosken, som fortæller historier for børnene i nabolaget.

Ved Poul Henningsens Plads står en kombineret telefonkiosk og plakatsøjle fra 1896. Når man skulle bruge telefonen skulle man kontakte telefondamen, hvorefter man blev lukket ind i telefonkiosken for at kunne telefonere.
Væggene udenpå kiosken blev brugt til reklamer. De forskellige firmaer kunne en leje en reklameplads til deres plakater.
Arkitekten Fritz Koch blev valgt til at designe kioskerne, og i 1896 opstilledes rundt om i byen fire telefonkiosker, og året efter syv mere. Husene var sekskantede, ni meter høje, med kobbertag og øverst lanterner med urskiver. På træfrisen under taget i ædeltræ ses de 12 stjernetegn, og pavillonen prydes af motiver som vikingeskibe, værktøj, telefonerende herrer etc.




The kiosk on the square by Ib Spang Olsen is a children's book about the lady in the kiosk, which tells stories for the children in the neighborhood.

At Poul Henningsens Square is a combined telephone kiosk and advertising column from 1896. When you had to use the telephone, you had to contact the kiosk lady, after which you were locked into the telephone kiosk to make telephone calls.
The walls outside the kiosk were used for advertising. The various companies could rent an advertising space for their posters.
The architect Fritz Koch was chosen to design the kiosks, and in 1896 four telephone kiosks were set up around the city, and the following year seven more. The houses were hexagonal, nine meters high, with copper roofs and lanterns with dials at the top. On the wooden frieze under the roof, the 12 zodiac signs can be seen, and the pavilion is adorned with motifs such as Viking ships, tools, etc.
