The Institute of Anatomy opened in the American sector of Berlin in 1949, and this facility closed in 2005 after the Freie Universität and Humboldt-Universität's medical faculties merged and the institute was relocated to Mitte. The building itself was constructed in 1929.
The site has been acquired by Aldi but the chain’s plan to build a shopping center seemed to have run into difficulties with the district office.
It was one of those dodge the workmen days they seemed to be on site, boring the ground and undertaking what seemed to be other investigations. I had come to access the basement which contains the morgue and work tables, but these plans were kicked into the tall grass, as I couldn’t find the buggers, due to said workmen scurrying about like little ants, in fact I only managed to access one of the buildings, still it was a good mooch.
Nonchalantly sitting on the wall looking at the passing traffic in a very upmarket residential area, then rolling backwards and scrambling under some Harras fencing may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think it’s fun.
Having to keep eyes wide open look at the sneaky razor wire in the undergrowth, that’s a new one!
Nasty!
Big open spaces, I did start off treading carefully as most of the floors were covered in broken glass and other debris, but got bored and threw caution to the wind, highly unlikely they would hear me over their generators.
from the ground floor to the roof space, destruction, mindless trashing of the property
Lady Luck brought me back down a different route, to encounter this stunner
Finally to the main lecture theatre and a smaller dissection theatre.
An enjoyable little wander, albeit only a fraction of the campus.
