So here we are again.
This is the place, which sparked my interest towards the abandoned almost 14 years ago. The place, which came to my nightmares every night, which I entered drunk 11 years ago and which became my first ever full exploration 10 years ago. Every now and then I’ve returned, gone in, stayed a while and left. The previous time was years ago.
Back when I last visited, the place still had doors. Now it’s just a mess.
It was so strange to be here again. I knew this place by heart and yet it just wasn’t the same.
One of the few doors still actually intact inside the building.
A look to the dark first floor corridor. There were offices in here back then.
The top floor. The leak on the roof has grown substantially in size.
Back then this was an apartment with furniture still in their right places. Now it’s just a mess.
A look at the tower. The leak on the roof on the left has grown substantially and parts of the roof have rotten and fallen off. Somebody has found the access to the roof and left it open, which means, that it has been raining freely inside the building probably for years.
The roof had already started falling in on the third floor corridor. It was evident by now, that after 30 years of abandonment, the era of this building had started to reach its end. The previous year a motion had been made in the municipal council to ‘take care’ of the place meaning probably, that the municipality should buy it and demolish it.
While wondering what would come first: a natural collapse or municipal interference, I started thinking, that I should return once more with my camera and photograph the building from basement to attic like i did back in 2010. But now was not the time for that.
