The following location was an elementary school built in 1977. It was closed in 2018 because of its bad condition. When these photos were taken the building had been abandoned for five years. The building was definitely abandoned, but well sealed. I still decided to try the traditional walkaround. That isn’t exactly right. Even theContinue reading “Business And Pleasure Go Well Together Again Part III”

The Final Moment Was An Unpleasant Surprise Part IV
Moving on to the final sections of the upstairs of this building. And finding another kitchen. The 1980’s look of the furniture was pretty staggering. The very messed up main stairway, which I didn’t climb in the earlier post. Moving on. It gets darker. But there were still more rooms. And they did follow theContinue reading “The Final Moment Was An Unpleasant Surprise Part IV”
The Final Moment Was An Unpleasant Surprise Part III
Back at the porch, it seems. One more entrance. It looks to lead to the final unexplored part of the upstairs. And indeed it did. Well here we have another mess. Moving on to a lobby. And reaching room number 4. What a small room I found. Judging by the mattresses, this has been aContinue reading “The Final Moment Was An Unpleasant Surprise Part III”
Nothing Has Happened In A Year, And It’s Probably Only Good
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”

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”
