Peppermint Powerplant -  The plant was purpose built to aid a neighboring paper mill, which closed at the same time as the power plant. It contains a single Siemens set, which looks great in peppermint green. This was a fairly quick walk around because the place is so small, I didn't even...

In 1910 a garrison of the Imperial German Army was established at the Waldstadt section of the Wünsdorf community. By the First World War in 1914 it had become Europe’s largest military base. During World War I it was the site of several prisoner-of-war camps, including the "crescent camp"...

The history of the building already begun in the 1850s. Originally, a wood factory was built on the property, which was destroyed by a fire in the second half of the 19th century. Then there was a brewery with a restaurant, later a holiday home / recreation home of the “Trade Union...

This was a solo venture while on a recent trip to Berlin. It's around 60km outside the city so it's a pain to reach by public transport but big enough to spend a few hours once you get there. The buildings are pretty empty but there are a few cool Soviet murals dotted around and very little...

The villa from the Wilhelminian period was built in 1874 - 1880 on the site of a former farm. In the following years, various industrialists lived there. Later in use as a museum, 1945 as a Soviet hospital. After the Second World War the Villa was the seat of the Institute for Teacher Training...

The funeral carriage is in the side building of an empty, abandoned industrial hall. I don't know why, I have no information about this place.     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12  

The little house in the middle of a small town was found by chance by a colleague. She told me about it and a few days later we went there together. It's near to a pilgrimage route, therefore the name. Judging by the year on a newspaper, it may have been inhabited until the beginning /...

Visited with @Miss.Anthrope on a last minute trip to Germany to catch up with our friends @Andy & @MiaroDigital. Not my usual type of explore but there was some nice decay in here and everything left almost in a time capsule state so it made for some nice photos.  :)   1.   2.   3...

The small chapel is idyllically situated on the hillside. Standing at the foot of the hill, the building is almost invisble. Thanks to the season, the knowing eye is able to spot the chapel between the sparse vegetation. Following up the slope for few minutes, a small weather-beaten wall...

The history of this railway line begins in the 19th century. In 1927 the tunnel with a length of 481 meters was completed. After financial problems, the route was officially inaugurated on 5. November 1932 - 65 years had passed from the first idea to the completion of the railway line. The...

  The ball room was part of an accommodation with restaurant and bowling alley. Built at the end of the 19th century, the building is in a very poor condition today and hardly to save anymore.     1   2   3   4   5   6   7  

Inside of the abandoned, very damp hotel grew mosses, ferns and other plants. Based on the decay, it must have been closed many years ago.   Visited with @The_Raw, @Miss.Anthrope and @MiaroDigital.     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11  ...

The tomb contains the bones of an industrialist and his wife. The industrialist already died in the 1920s, but the mausoleum was only built in the mid-1950s. The bones were then relocated there. Although unfortunately locked, but still a nice exterior view. Visited with @The_Raw...

A small summer cottage with nice decay in the middle of the woods. Nothing known about its history.  Visited with @The_Raw , @Miss.Anthrope and @MiaroDigital.  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

A small underground cistern in Germany. Unfortunately, I have no information about the architectural history or how long it was in use. Visited with @The_Raw, @Miss.Anthrope and @MiaroDigital.     1   2   3   4   5   6    

Visited with a non forum member - This hospital is part of a large former military camp which was taken over by the Red Army in 1945 until they left in 1990. Since then it has sat empty, slowly decaying. In my time I've happily wandered around many abandoned places with no bother including 4...

    The former inn with a ballroom was already built at the end of the 19th century. After the closure in the 1990s, the building became more and more ruined.   The rest of the building was completely stripped and empty, so no photos from other rooms. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an...

    The ballroom was part of an inn. It already existed in the 19th century. I don't know when it was closed.   The decay was very nice, but floors and ceilings were partially already very broken.   By the way, the sunrays in the pics 4 & 5 are real and not a fake via photoshop. I...

Formerly, a barracks of the German Army was on the 610 m high hill. Later the area was in use by the US military. The directional antennas at the lattice tower were removed in 2007. Unfortunately a lot of trash and vandalism today, but still some nice details.     1   2   3   4...

The mausoleum is the burial site of a baron (died in the late 19th century). The building is located on a hill in the middle of the forest.     1   2   3   4   5   6   7
