Thank you for your response Pookie, no wonder you overlooked those entries of mine with all the responsibilities with which you have to cope. I will pray for you.

It's a bit blurry but what I can guess is:" Tritt niemals rückwärts in einen Fahrkorb" - so "never enter backwards" and " Fahrkorb nur betreten wenn er hell beleuchtet ist" - " only enter if the light is fully turned on"

It is written in the old german font "sütterlin" - so the sign was there in the 1930s already....
