Telephone Boxes Retired?

 If you were ever stationed around Germany.....you would have noticed the various yellow telephone 'boxes' in public situations.  At the peak, there were 160,000 of them.

Come January 2023....the last of them will be turned 'off'.  The current plan....which probably will take about a dozen years....is to pick them up from individual locations.  No one says much over what happens to the boxes after that.

Cellular phones helped twenty years ago to end normal use in public situations.  In my village....the last of them disappeared around five years ago.
