A Collapsing Mystery

And so we are approaching the next location.

Which is the yellow building in the picture.

It had a very strange window layout indicating it was probably used for commerce or manufactoring of some sort.

It was also in a very bad condition and had partially collapsed.

I already knew by now that I had no business going upstairs.

But in we go anyway.

The entrance to the buidling was directly to this small room, which looked like a dressing room.

The building was a maze.

And the place was in a dreadful condition. This is the room directly below the collapsed part of the roof.

A fairly strange room with a large oven. I’m suspecting that this thing was a factory or a workshop of some kind.

There were a few other rooms downstairs. The funny thing was that I didn’t find any stairs. They had probably collapsed, too.

The neighbor’s lawn was well kept and they were very close. The risk of being spotted was real.

The room looks a bit like someone has lived there since the abandonment.

Even the floor has started to give in.

Very theoretical books about something and even in English. Not the first thing you’d expect to find here.

A yearbook from 1975. Coats of arms are actually close to my heart. They were the main reason I got the idea to visit all current and former municipalities as a kid, something, which I attempted to do in one summer the previous year.

The back of the building contained some storage space. It had received a new roof at some point and was possibly still in use.

But what puzzles me is, that I have no idea what this building has been. It is located next to an abandoned and partly demolished former hardware store. When writing this post I realized, that they were on the same lot.

So this place had something to do with the hardware store, but still remains a mystery to this day.
