Welcome to another familiar location for a change. This here is the former elementary school, which is considered as architecturally and historically important. The locals want to preserve it, the city wants to demolish it. The story is familiar as well. A year has passed, but the situation is still at a standstill. I’ve removedContinue reading “Nothing Has Happened In A Year, And It’s Probably Only Good”

When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part VII
And so we are entering classroom number two. A view to a classroom. And something, that probably is the great hall of the building. Another classroom. With a surprisingly modern chair. Open windows. Well, they’ve put the emphasis to the ceiling. Another look at the great hall. A sign about ostriches. What the fuck? TheContinue reading “When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part VII”
When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part VI
Moving on upstairs, then. Once in a blue moon. A look back towards the dormitory wing. The teachers’ study. This one is interesting. So let’s enter. The teachers’ study occupied two top floors of the main building. There was even a balcony. And a classic 1950’s handrail, too. I wonder what was on those shelvesContinue reading “When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part VI”
When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part V
This is probably the school canteen. And here we have the first looks at the kitchen. The back of the canteen was again a mess. And a look back to the other direction. A painting. Moving on to the kitchen, then. There were loads of dishes left. It looks like the place has been abandonedContinue reading “When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part V”
When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part IV
The first new thing here. A kitchen. This is probably where the students have made their food. And a circuit board. A chair storage. And another small kitchen for the inhabitants. Moving towards the lobby now. A small office room with a chaos. And finally the main lobby. The bulletin board is empty. And theContinue reading “When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part IV”
When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part III
Conservation wax? What the hell is that used for? Some documents about the electric systems of the building. Location info has again been erased. The doorway from the stairway to the upstairs corridor. The main entrance is in the low wing. The classrooms are probably in the other wing. The upstairs corridor. Room 18. ItContinue reading “When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part III”
When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part I
And here we are at another new location. This here is a former agricultural school, which was built in the 1950’s and closed in the early 2000’s. While I was approaching, I was approached by a woman, who worked at a flea market just behind my back. She told me, that the school had beenContinue reading “When It’s Closed, Anything Can Happen Part I”
The School Is Still Out Of Bounds
And so I welcome you to yet another familiar location. This here is the secondary school featured earlier in 2020. Nothing seemed to have changed throughout the years. The building was as empty as always. And as closed as always. Although suffering some damage, the place still seemed locked. I knew the name of theContinue reading “The School Is Still Out Of Bounds”
So The Idiots Decided To Demolish This One, Too
Here we have a school building from 1931. Yes, from 1931. And it is on the demolition list. According to authorities it has lost its value and can go. Well, let me tell you something. It shouldn’t go. It should never have gone. It was seriously an important part of the history of the townContinue reading “So The Idiots Decided To Demolish This One, Too”
Not Empty, Just Waiting
This beauty here is a former elementary school built in 1929. Behind it is the newer school built in 1955. The school was closed in 2009 and sold to a private owner in 2012. The new owner renovated and rescued this old beauty, but in 2021 they put it up for sale. Technically it isn’tContinue reading “Not Empty, Just Waiting”
