Can someone explain the function of this ladder?



I’m a foreigner and I never saw something like this and I’m just curious

  1. Emergency exit in case of a fire. That’s where the fire fighters will pick you up.

  2. There are also sometimes small platforms on the roofs which can be reached by the fire brigade with a ladder in case of fire. So maybe this is also an emergency exit.

  3. Maybe required due to fire hazard protocol? German burocracy at its peak

  4. Probably for the Schornsteinfeger /chimney sweep, to access the chimney. Our neighbor has some steps more rudimentary than the one in the picture, and the chimney sweep goes too al our roofs through this way.
