East Side Hotel

As the page prints it

Menu labels whose pages are not in the archive

The English page has a main menu, a More submenu, and a footer menu. The labels are readable. The files they point to are not in the list of addresses this archive holds. The only full hotel page in that list is the English page itself.

The four labels in the main row

The main row reads Accommodation, Special Offers, Restaurant and Bar, and Attractions. The Accommodation link uses the path accomodation.html, with a single m. That spelling is in the address, not only in a typo this note might fix. Restaurant and Bar is the visible label. The path is restaurant-and-bar.html. Attractions points at attractions.html. Special Offers points at special-offers.html, the same file the four offer cards use for their title links.

None of those four paths appears in the archive's URL list. The offer titles themselves survived on the English page, which is why the offer note can quote them. The accommodation page, the restaurant page, and the longer attractions page did not survive as separate files. The three short attraction blurbs did survive, and the attractions note quotes those blurbs rather than a missing page.

A menu label is not a promise that this note will reconstruct the missing page. Room types, a bar list, and a longer gallery essay are exactly the kinds of text those files might have held. They are not in the archive, so they are not invented here.

The More submenu

More is a label without its own address. Under it the page lists Art Exhibition, Gallery, Whats'on, Facilities, and History. Whats'on is the page's spelling, with the apostrophe before on. The paths are art-exhibition.html, gallery.html, whats-on.html, facilities.html, and history.html, each under the English folder. None of those paths is in the URL list.

Gallery as a menu word is not the East Side Gallery blurb. The blurb is on the English page and is about the wall. The menu Gallery points at a file that is absent. This note does not fill that file with paintings. Art Exhibition is likewise only a label. History is only a label. The welcome's phrase about the Berlin Wall is not moved into a history article the archive does not have.

Facilities might, on a missing page, have listed the bus and the bicycles. The features box already lists them on the English page. The features note uses that box. It does not borrow a facilities page.

The footer row

The footer menu lists Contact and Location, Partners and Friends, Press and News, Guest Reviews, and Impressum. Privacy Policy is a separate link in the copyright bar. The welcome's centrally located words point at yet another path, contact-and-location-en.html, without the English folder. That path is also absent. Two contact addresses are named, and neither file is in the archive.

Impressum is the label a German site uses for the legal notice. The label is printed. The file is not. This note does not invent a company name, a register number, or a managing director. The name the English page does print for the house is East Side Hotel, in the heading and in the copyright. That is a trading name on the page, not a substitute for the missing impressum.

Guest Reviews in the footer points at the same missing file as View All under the two fragments. The fragments remain on the English page. The review note quotes them. Partners, press, and privacy have no surviving paragraph at all.

Two contact paths are named, one with the English folder and one without. Both files are absent.

The six addresses the archive does hold

The HTML files in the archive are the English page, the older language chooser, and four addresses that had been replaced by travel guides and are now short notes: the root, select.htm, the English neu page, and the German neu page. The root note says the hotel text is not on that address anymore and points at the English page. The older chooser is the FrontPage file, described in the 2016 note.

Those six are the internal pages a new note can link to without pointing at a gap. Linking the menu paths would send a reader to addresses this archive does not contain. Naming the labels, and stopping, matches what the file actually gives.

Images, styles, and scripts are also in the archive. They are not the menu pages. A stylesheet does not restore the restaurant text. The chooser gif is a file. It is not the History page.

Stylesheets and scripts do not stand in for the restaurant page or the history page.

The four notes are not hotel essays. They point back at the English page.

Spellings worth keeping

accomodation with one m, and Whats'on with the apostrophe, are easy to smooth over. Smoothing them would make the menu look more edited than the file is. The English page also prints Bycicle and Bustour in the features box. The menu's oddities belong in the same category: they are the strings in the links.

Restaurant and Bar uses an ampersand in the HTML name and the visible label is Restaurant and Bar. The path uses hyphens. None of that reveals a dish or a drink. The label is the content.

More has no href. It only opens the submenu. A reader who looks for a More page will not find a path, because the page did not give it one. The five children are the whole of More.

More opens a submenu and has no address of its own. The five children are the whole of that label.

Whats'on keeps the apostrophe the menu printed. Accomodation keeps the single m in the path.

The visible Accommodation label uses the ordinary spelling. Only the path drops an m.

Questions

Which menu files are in the archive?

None of the main, More, or footer targets. The surviving hotel text is the English page. The other HTML files are the older chooser and four short notes.

How is Accommodation spelled in the path?

accomodation.html, with a single m. The visible label is Accommodation.

Does the impressum label include a company number?

No. Impressum is only the link text. The file it points to is not in the archive, and no register number is printed on the English page.
