In addition to the
drains and sewer pipes already shown on Drawing 2036(p), this
version also shows the position of the electric lamps lighting the
building and the water supply system.
The two
westernmost rooms served by the corridor were each fitted with 4
lamps set into the walls (“Wand-Lampen Versenckt”, also
indicated on the drawing as "Kavernischen"). The corridor had two
lamps protected by grids. The other rooms were lit by ordinary lamps
with shades: 1 in the vestibule; 1 in the coal store; 2 in the
doctor's room; 6 in the large room; 2 in the air lock; 6 in the
furnace room; 1 in the coke store; 1 in the WC; 1 in the entrance on
the right; 1 in the rest room. In this last there was also a water
supply tank with a pump and its electric motor. The water was pumped
from the well outside the building into the tank and gravity fed
throughout the building. On the drawing, the water supply pipe runs
from the rest room, along the bottom of the furnace room, air lock
and large room, up the left hand wall of this last and along the
bottom wall of the vestibule and ends in the corridor serving the
two westernmost rooms. There are three taps for the washbasins,
three in the large room, one with a washbasin in the doctor’s room
and two in the corridor, one outside the door of each of the two
rooms.
This drawing, completing 2036(p), shows
that the two westernmost rooms were not only equipped with stoves
and drains, but also that the lamps were set into the
walls (as was the case with one lighting the washbasins on the
extreme right of the building). The two lamps in the corridor
serving these rooms were protected by grids. It might be
thought that in such rooms the SS intended to install showers
supplied with hot water heated by the big 8-muffle furnace, but no
showerheads are shown and there is no deviation of the water supply
pipe leading through a heating coil in the furnace. What is more,
the water supply does not go into the two westermost rooms but only
as far as two taps in the corridor outside their doors. Summarizing,
Drawing 2036(r.a) shows that the two westernmost rooms were
heated by stoves and water from the taps in the corridor was to be
used in them, for the lamps were set into the walls and thus
waterproofed and there were drains in the center of the rooms. |
