Next destination: a former residential area built for the workers of a nearby copper factory. I had heard of the place from a fellow urbexer. I wasn’t really sure of its exact location, nor did I know what I could expect.
Sounds like an adventure, right?
Wooden houses from the early post war period, all built along the same plans and windows boarded shut. This must be the place.
There had originally been around 20 houses in the area. During the years several were demolished to make way to the enlarging factory and its parking lot. Less than 10 were remaining. The last inhabitants had left in 2019.
The houses were originally built for four families but later converted to just two apartments, when living standards increased.
They were made up of two identical halves. There were even garages in each building.
The yards were overgrown.
The first few houses were painted red. Next there was a white one.
Same story and layout here.
There isn’t really much to say anymore. All houses had an identical layout, all were equally well closed down with no points of entry.
The next color was yellow. The houses seen in the distance are blocks of flats built for the workers of the same company. They are still in good shape and inhabited. They are also protected by the detail plan.
Oh, we have a new color. Not white, not yellow, yellowish.
The reason to the existance of this area was very near. That’s the factory, and it’s really that close. Actually this whole area with the wooden houses has been redesigned as an industrial zone for potential enlargement.
The garage doors were shut with large bolts. That’s quite rare.
Finally a window, which wasn’t boarded shut. The edges of the broken glass were so sharp, that I didn’t consider entering. I didn’t want to risk cuts.
The next color option. Is this brown or orange, I don’t know.
And there we have one grey with turquoise doors.
The orange house from the other side.
And the grey one. This one looks like it’s been abandoned for longer than the others. Just look at the roof.
The grey building also looks like it has been broken into. In the other buildings the doors were just closed and locked. Here it looks like they have been broken and shut with plywood.
Another red building.
Just the usual greetings. And the promise to die next, if I enter. If all these messages would be true, I’d have been dead numerous times.
Back around the grey one again.
There’s been a break in here, too, but they’ve just installed a new lock. No luck here either.
The previous house said I’ll die if I enter, this one says welcome. I don’t know what to believe in anymore.
But I had to start believing the fact that I couldn’t access any of the buildings this time. Better luck next time.
