The measuring tape arrangement has a one-piece measuring tape arranged along the travel path, wherein varying location information is stored along the measuring tape, by which information a current position of the car relative to the measuring tape can be determined, and a retaining structure arranged at an upper end of the travel path on which structure the measuring tape is fastened by a fastening device at a fixed position relative to the travel path. A receiving device receiving a measuring tape supply is arranged on the retaining structure, wherein a measuring tape piece of the measuring tape supply can arranged along an extension portion when the travel path is extended upwards by one extension portion.
