Although I had found a hidden treasure in the old industrial village featured in the previous post, I had to leave quickly. It was starting to rain, my camera battery was starting to drain and I was hungry.
I drove to the nearest town, went for a kebab and charged my battery. After a small break I was ready to go. The only issue was, that the rain was intensifying.
I had also found this municipality’s property strategy, and found the list of the buildings to be demolished. The first one was a real legend.
The first one was a clothes, shoe and flowers shop, something quite similar to this one, but larger. This building even featured apartments upstairs.
It was built in the 1930’s and enlarged in the 1960’s, when it received this horrible facade with the white boards. Originally a legend in the area, its best days were long since gone. The store no longer sells flowers, but apparently still does clothes despite its rather worn out looks.
Somebody might still be living in the upstairs apartments, too.
Although not completely abandoned, as it will be demolished in the near future, I’m glad to have documented it.
