Having again read the news, I heard of a new elementary school built in a village, which former was a center of a small municipality. The building of the new school in such small places almost always means the demolition of the old school. And again I felt sorry about the beautiful old 1950’s school building.
The demolition was set to begin that summer. I figured out I could still make it before the bulldozer if I hurried. It was fifty-sixty. Especially because the work was delayed, as nests of the common swift were found in the attic, when the work started.
As you can see, it was too late.
Technically I could have still entered, as the demolition site was very poorly secured and the demolition workers were just leaving for the day. But as the demolition had already advanced this far and the building was that old, I figured out, that the asbestos removal work had already been done. That meant, that there was nothing to see inside.
A fairly strange way to operate carving small holes in different parts of the building. I guess they knew, what they were doing, though.
This side of the school was still intact. The new school can be seen behind it.
The style of the two wings is so different, you dould almost think that the school has been built in different phases. I couldn’t confirm this with the help of old maps or photos.
The gym wing has already lost its roof.
They did carry out the demolition before the end of the summer. So much for another interesting location.
