In a method for controlling an elevator installation operated with zoning, on an interchange floor (S4) changing between zones (Z1, Z2) is made possible, transportation to or from the interchange floor (S4) being realized with at least one feeder-elevator group (GR1) and at least one connecting-elevator group (GR2) and the at- least one feeder-elevator group (GR1) comprising in each case several feeder elevators (A, B, C) which travel to a first zone (Z1) below a first changeover floor (S4) and to the changeover floor (S4) and the at-least one connecting-elevator group (GR2) comprising in each case several connecting elevators (D, E, F) which travel to the interchange floor (S4) and to the floors (S5-Sn) of a second zone (Z2) located above it. The trip destinations are entered via destination-call input and the feeder-elevator group (GR1) and the connecting-elevator group (GR2) are combined into a multigroup which is controlled by a multigroup control (MGS). To optimize the interchange process from the feeder elevator (A, B, C) to the connecting elevator (D, E, F), to enable inexpensive utilization of the elevator installation, and to reduce the round-trip times of the elevators and the travel times of passengers, the multigroup control (MGS) allocates by means of the destination-call input a feeder elevator (A, B, C) depending on the number of trip destinations (S1-S3) in the first zone (Z1) to be traveled to by this feeder elevator (A, B, C) and/or on the number of trip destinations in the second zone (Z2).
