The bracket rest part 60 extends away from the associated individual scaffolding post 21.1 in a first direction 63 transversely, preferably perpendicularly, to the post longitudinal axis 40.1 of this individual scaffolding post 21.1. The bracket rest part 60 has a horizontal rest surface 64 for vertical support of a first railing rod end 27.1 of a railing rod 24; 24.1, 24.2 (see FIGS. 6 and 7). The bracket rest part 60 has a maximum rest part height 82. The bracket 55 is firmly welded by its lower bracket rest part 60 and by its upper bracket securing part 61 to the individual scaffolding post 21.1. The bracket securing part 61 extends away from the individual scaffolding post 21.1 in a second direction 65 transversely, preferably perpendicularly, to the post longitudinal axis 40.1 of this individual scaffolding post 21.1, in particular parallel to the first direction 63. The bracket support part 62 extends in a third direction 66 parallel to the post longitudinal axis 40.1 at a transverse spacing 67 from an outer surface 68, which is opposite the bracket support part 62, of the individual scaffolding post 21.1. The bracket support part 62 has a vertical, in particular extending parallel to the post longitudinal axis 40.1, support surface 69 for lateral support of at least one railing rod end 27.1, 27.2 of at least one railing rod 24; 24.1, 24.2.

[0079] The bracket 55 and the outer surface 68 of the individual first scaffolding post 21.1 bound and enclose a passage opening 70 for horizontal insertion, particularly insertion taking place perpendicularly to the post longitudinal axis 40.1, of a railing rod end 27.1, 27.2 and for reception of a railing rod end support part 71.1, 71.2 of this railing rod end 27.1, 27.2 over the whole circumference or substantially the whole circumference.

[0080] The bracket 55, which can also be termed suspension bracket, is made from a flat material. The bracket 55 has a bracket height 72 as considered in a height direction parallel to the post longitudinal axis 40.1 of the scaffolding post 21.1, a bracket width 73 as considered in a width direction perpendicular to the post longitudinal axis 40.1 and a bracket wall thickness 74 as considered in a thickness direction perpendicular to the height direction and perpendicular to the width direction. The bracket wall thickness 74 is of the same size over the entire bracket 55. The bracket height 74 is, for example, 100 millimetres. The bracket width 73 is, for example, 31 millimetres. The bracket wall thickness 74 is, for example, 5 millimetres. The bracket 55 as considered in the thickness direction is bounded by parallel side surfaces 75.1, 75.2. The bracket 55 as considered in the width direction is bounded by inner end surfaces 76.1 and by outer end surfaces 76.2, which extend parallel to the thickness direction. The passage opening 70 formed as a vertical receiving slot and as an elongate hole has a rectangular cross-section. The vertical receiving slot 70 has a slot width 77 and a slot height 78. The slot width 77 is, for example, 16 millimetres. The slot height 78 is, for example, 55 millimetres.

[0081] The locking lever 57 has a locking surface 79 for mechanically positive locking of a railing device 24 against vertical removal thereof in upward direction. The locking surface 79 of the locking lever 57 in its locking setting 59 is opposite the horizontal support surface 64 of the bracket rest part 60 and in the locking setting 59 is arranged at a vertical spacing 80 above the horizontal support surface 64 of the bracket rest part 60. The pivot axis 56 of the locking lever 57 in its locking setting 59 is arranged at a vertical spacing 81 above the locking surface 79 of the locking lever 57 (cf. FIGS. 13 and 14).

[0082] A railing rod 21.1 according to the invention is shown in, in particular, FIGS. 6 and 7. The railing rod 21.1 is produced from a round tube, which is deformed at each of its two tube ends to form a flattened railing rod end 27.1, 27.2. Each flattened railing rod end 27.1, 27.2 has flat side surfaces 28.1, 28.2 which extend parallel to one another and in opposite directions away from one another. The railing rod 24; 24.1, 24.2 has a flattened first railing rod end 28.1 and a flattened second railing rod end 28.2, which extend away from one another in opposite directions parallel to the railing rod longitudinal axis 29. The first railing rod end 28.1 and the second railing rod end 28.2 are formed to be the same. The railing rod 24; 24.1, 24.2 is formed to be substantially mirror symmetrical with respect to a notional longitudinal centre plane 49 of symmetry formed perpendicularly to its railing rod longitudinal axis 29 and perpendicularly to the side surfaces 28.1, 28.2 of its railing rod ends 28.1, 28.2. Since the first and second railing rod ends 28.1, 28.2 of each railing rod 24; 24.1, 24.2 are formed to be the same only one of these railing rod ends is described, by way of the first railing rod end 28.1, in more detail in the following.

[0083] The first railing rod end 28.1 has, in the horizontal installed setting 53 of the first railing rod 24.1, at the lower side 36 a first recess 83 which is open towards side surfaces 28.1, 28.2, which extend away from one another, and downwardly 84. The first recess 83 is bounded by recess support surfaces 86.2, 86.3, 97, 99, 102, 104 of a railing rod end support part 71.1 for support on the horizontal support surface 64 of the bracket rest part 60 of the bracket 55 of the scaffolding post 21.1. The first recess 83 as considered in a direction towards the free end 88.1 of the first railing rod end 28.1 is bounded by a concave wall part 90 of a suspension hook 89. This wall part forms a hook base 90 of the suspension hook 89. The hook base 90 is formed concavely to be circularly cylindrical with a radius 91. The radius is preferably 4 millimetres. The radius 91 of the hook base 90 spans a diameter of preferably approximately 8 millimetres. This diameter is slightly larger than the wall thickness 74 of the bracket support part 60 and is smaller than twice the wall thickness 74 of the bracket rest part 60. The suspension hook 89 surrounds a first recess part 92.1 of the first recess 83 by its free hook end 94 extending in rearward direction 93 or in the direction of the other or second railing rod end 27.2. The free hook end 94 of the suspension hook 89 has hook-end support surfaces 86.3, which are respective recess support surfaces of the recess support surfaces, which bound the first recess 83, of the railing rod end support part 71.1 of the first railing rod 24.1. The hook-end support surfaces 86.3 are planar and arranged at angle 96, which is preferably approximately 30 degrees, to the railing rod end longitudinal axis 48 and to the railing rod longitudinal axis 29 of the first railing rod 24.1. The recess support surfaces 86.2 of the hook base 90 go over progressively, thus continuously, in kink-free and step-free manner or tangentially, into the hook-end support surfaces 86.3 of the free hook end 94 of the suspension hook 89. In a direction pointing away from the free hook end 94 the recess support surfaces 86.2 of the hook base 90 go over progressively into a planar first support surface 97, which extends parallel to the railing rod end longitudinal axis 48 and parallel to the railing rod longitudinal axis 29 of the first railing rod 24.1. The first support surface 97 goes over at a first longitudinal spacing 98 from the hook base 90 into a first support surface 99, which is formed perpendicularly thereto, of a first support wall 100. The first longitudinal spacing 98 is preferably approximately 22 millimetres. The first support wall 100 has a first support wall height 101 of preferably 9 millimetres. The first support wall 100 as considered in a direction away from the hook base 90 or from the free hook end 94 as well as parallel to the railing rod end longitudinal axis 48 or to the railing rod longitudinal axis 29 goes over into a second support surface 102 of a second support wall 103, which extends parallel to the railing rod end longitudinal axis 48 or parallel to the railing rod longitudinal axis 29. The second support surface 102 further goes over into a second support surface 104 of a concave wall part 105, which is formed with a radius 106. This radius 106 is preferably approximately 10 millimetres. This wall part 105 at a second longitudinal spacing 107 from the free hook end 94 of the suspension hook 89 in turn goes over into a rear, lower outer end surface 108 of the first railing rod end 27.1, which extends parallel to the railing rod end longitudinal axis 48 or parallel to the railing rod longitudinal axis 29. The second longitudinal spacing 107 is preferably approximately 52 millimetres. The said rear, lower outer end surface 112 is aligned with a lower hook outer end surface 112 bounding the free hook end 94. The hook outer end surface 112 has a first transverse spacing 109, which is preferably approximately 15 millimetres, from the first support surface 97 extending parallel thereto. The free hook end 94 of the suspension hook 89 has a third longitudinal spacing 110 from the free end 88.1 of the first railing rod end 27.1. The third longitudinal spacing 110 is preferably approximately 21 millimetres. The second support surface 102 of the second support wall 103 has, from the rear, lower outer end surface 108, a second transverse spacing 111 which corresponds with a height or depth 113 of a second recess part 92.2 of the first recess 83. This height or depth 113 is preferably approximately 6 millimetres.

[0084] The facade scaffolding 20 is shown in FIGS. 10 to 14 in a second mounting or demounting phase, in which two railing rods 24.1, 24.2 are respectively suspended in the region of each of their two railing rod ends 27.1, 27.2 at a respective mount 55 of the associated railing securing device 50.1, 50.2 not only of the scaffolding post 21.1 shown approximately in the centre of the drawing, but also of the further scaffolding post 21.1 shown at the front right, wherein the railing rods 24.1, 24.2 each extend in a vertical oblique setting 130 approximately parallel to one another at an angle 131 to the horizontal 132.

[0085] The first recess 83 has in its first recess part 92.1, which is bounded by the hook base 90 and by the first support surface 97 as well as by the first support surface 99, a minimum first recess length, which corresponds with the first length spacing 98, as considered in a direction parallel to the railing rod end longitudinal axis 48 and in a direction parallel to the railing rod longitudinal axis 29. The minimum first recess length 98 is accordingly preferably approximately 22 millimetres. The minimum recess length 98 of the first recess 83 is greater than the height 72 of the bracket rest part 60. The free hook end 94 of the suspension hook 89 has a fourth longitudinal spacing 114 from the first support surface 99 of the first support wall 100. The fourth longitudinal spacing 114 is preferably approximately 14 millimetres. Through the aforesaid measures it can be achieved that the first railing rod 24.1, which is suspended by means of its suspension hook 89 at the bracket rest part 60 of the bracket 55 of the individual first scaffolding post 21.1, in a first mounting or demounting phase can hang freely vertically downwardly at least approximately perpendicularly (see FIGS. 8 and 9).

[0086] The fourth longitudinal spacing 114 is larger than the wall thickness 74 of the bracket rest part 60 in the region of the horizontal support surface 64, so that the railing rod 24.1 can mechanically positively detent thereat in its horizontal installed setting 53. The fourth longitudinal spacing 114, which can also be termed support surface spacing, is preferably approximately two to three times the wall thickness 74 of the bracket rest part 60 in the region of the support surface 64 thereof. As a result, compensation can be provided for production and, in particular, erection tolerances so that it is always ensured that the railing rod 24.1 can in every case be reliably and securely suspended in the region of its two railing rod ends 27.1, 27.2 in each instance in a bracket 55 of the scaffolding post 21.1 according to the invention in the horizontal installed or use setting 53.

[0087] The first railing rod end 27.1 has a maximum width or maximum height 116 in a transverse direction 115 perpendicular to the first railing rod end longitudinal axis 48 or to the railing rod longitudinal axis 29. This width or height 116 is preferably approximately 50 millimetres. This width or height 116 corresponds with an end surface spacing between the hook outer end surface 112 of the free hook end 94 and a front, upper outer end surface 117, which faces away therefrom in an opposite direction and extends parallel thereto, of the first railing rod end 27.1.

[0088] The front, upper outer end surface 117 goes over, in a direction towards the other or second railing rod end 27.2, at a fifth longitudinal spacing 118 from the free end 88.1 of the first railing rod end 27.2 into an upper, second recess 120 of the first railing rod end 27.1. This second recess 120 is open towards the end surfaces 28.1, 28.2, which face away from one another, of the first railing rod 27.1 and upwardly 85. The fifth longitudinal spacing 118 is preferably 27 millimetres. In that case, the front, upper outer end surface 117 initially goes over into a first inclined surface 122. This includes an angle 123 with the first railing rod end longitudinal axis 48 or with the railing rod longitudinal axis 29. This angle 123 is preferably approximately 18 degrees. The first inclined surface 122 in a direction towards the other or second railing rod end 27.2 goes over into a surface 125 which is rounded by a radius 124 and which in turn goes over into a second inclined surface 126. This second inclined surface 126 includes an angle 127 with the first inclined surface 122. This angle 127 is preferably larger than 90 degrees. In particular, the angle 127 is approximately 102 degrees. This second inclined surface 126 in a direction towards the other or second railing rod end 27.2 goes over—convexly rounded—into a rear, upper outer end surface 128 of the first railing rod end 27.1. This is aligned with the front, upper outer end surface 117 of the first railing rod end 27.1. The upper, second recess 120 has a recess depth or height 129 of preferably approximately 14 millimetres.

[0089] As shown in, in particular, FIGS. 10 and 13, in a second mounting or demounting phase—in which at least one railing rod 24.1, 24.2 is suspended in the region of its two railing rod ends 27.1, 27.2 respectively at a bracket 55 of the associated railing securing device 50.1, 50.2 in each instance of a scaffolding post 21.1, 21.2—for preference two railing rods 24.1, 24.2 can be respectively suspended in the region of the railing rod ends 27.1, 27.2 thereof at a respective bracket 55 of the associated railing securing device 50.1, 50.2 in each instance of a scaffolding post 21.1, 21.1 of adjacent scaffolding posts 21.1, 21.1. In that case, a first scaffolding post 21.1 is disposed in its installed and use setting in which it is plugged onto the short scaffolding post 21.1 disposed thereunder, whilst an adjacent second scaffolding post 21.1 either in a mounting phase is not yet plugged onto the associated short scaffolding post 21.2 or in a demounting phase has already been detached from the associated short scaffolding post 21.2 and subsequently placed by its lower post end 41.1 on a scaffolding floor 23 of the lower level 54.1. In this second mounting or demounting phase the at least one railing rod 24.1, 24.2 or the two railing rods 24.1, 24.2 are arranged in a vertical oblique setting 130 at an angle 131 to the horizontal 132. The suspension situation, which presents itself, in this oblique setting 130 is illustrated in FIG. 11 in the region of a bracket 55 of the first scaffolding post 21.1. It can be readily seen there how in this oblique setting 130 a part of the first railing rod end 24.1, which includes the suspension hook 89, of the depicted railing rod 24.1 extends through the passage opening 70, which is formed as a vertical receiving slot, of the mount 55 and the bracket rest part 60 of the bracket 55 is received at least partly in the first recess 83 of the first railing rod end 27.1, whilst the free hook end 94 of the suspension hook 89 engages behind the bracket rest part 60 of the bracket 55. In the illustrated angular setting of the railing rod 24.1 the hook-end support surfaces 86.3 of the free hook end 94 of the suspension hook 89 extend approximately parallel to the side surface 75.1, which is shown on the right in FIG. 11, of the bracket rest part 60 of the bracket 55.

[0090] As apparent from FIGS. 12 and 13, the railing rod longitudinal axis 29 of each railing rod 24, 24.2, 24.2 includes an angle 131 with the notional horizontal 132 formed perpendicularly to the post longitudinal axes 40.1. This angle 131 is here approximately 20 degrees. In this mounting or demounting intermediate setting the upper, second recess 120 of the second railing rod end 27.2 of the respective railing rod 24; 24.1, 24.2 ensures that even when the locking lever 57 is in its locking setting 59 the associated railing securing device 50.1, 50.2 does not give rise to collision of the said second railing rod end 27.2 with the bracket 55 or with the locking surface 79 of the closed locking lever 57 (see FIG. 13).
