Germany The house of the seamstress (visited 03/2016)

[Andy]

A revisit after seven years ...​

 ​

In this nondescript house in the woods, a seamstress lived until her death in the early 80s in modest circumstances. So there was no bath, only a (now completely ruined) toilet house in the garden, and not even a sink can be found. My first visit was exactly seven years ago. Actually, I assumed that the house was already collapsed, but it defied wind and weather and is still standing.​

 ​

Already in 2009, everything was ransacked, although at that time clothes still hung accurately on hangers at the door of the bedroom. Half-full bottles of liquor stood next  to perfume flacons and preserving jar, and various documents were conclude to the former inhabitant:​

an electoral card for the state election 1952, addressed to a woman born in 1903, as at the same time an official letter, which was addressed to a lady born in 1941. Mother and daughter? And who was the 1960 deceased man whose grave cross gradually is rotting in the depths of the cellar?​

 ​

Because of various photographers visits in recent years, today in the living room is no more the same complete chaos of seven years ago. But also many things disappeared - the sewing machine, a model Ship, the perfume flacons, the phone. And in what has remained, the ravages of time is gnawing ceaselessly ...​

But a lot of nice details can still be found. As well as the beautiful moss-covered car in the garden.​

Excellent report Andy, these places are fascinating and a mysterious grave and cross in the basement - well that really does get the imagination running wild with questions which will probably never be answered.....

That's a great report Andy, a great write up and amazing to see the difference 7 years of bad luck makes to a place

Thanks to everyone! I wasn't sure if the translation is correct. I had to use an online translator because I didn't know some of the english words. But it seems that it is understandable.
