Okay, this story is getting familiar already. Another friend of mine saw my pictures and heard my stories about my urbex hobby and asked, if she could accompany me. I had a terrible crush on her, so of course I said yes. As there was nothing new abandoned in our town, we took to theContinue reading “Little Stubs of Details from the Workers’ Institute”

Return to the Workers’ Institute Part IV
The layout of the annex building was a bit difficult to grasp. Both floors weren’t entirely built in the same level, and there were dark mazes and strange spaces somewhere in between floors. Here someone has put in the effort to rip lamps and electric cords off the roof. There was also the basement, whichContinue reading “Return to the Workers’ Institute Part IV”
Return to the Workers’ Institute Part III
Our next stop was the attic of the eastern annex building. It was a long open space, where moving was made difficult by thick channels of ventilation pipes made out of concrete and brick. There was really no proper use for the place. It was just for technical equipment and storing things. Somehow a thickContinue reading “Return to the Workers’ Institute Part III”
Return to the Workers’ Institute Part II
Welcome to the eastern annex. This is about as far as I got during my previous visit. That was when I spotted a bed in one of the rooms and we backed out. But now this place looks like it hasn’t really served as anybody’s home in a while. The room looked like some sortContinue reading “Return to the Workers’ Institute Part II”
Return to the Workers’ Institute Part I
What do serial killers and arsonists have in common? They might commit single crimes at first, but then one day they enter a more active phase and go out on a spree. They kill and burn, kill and burn until somebody catches them. My spring with abandoned houses had so far been much more activeContinue reading “Return to the Workers’ Institute Part I”
Smells Like Teen Spirit Part XVII
The place really seemed to be the home of long lost jackets. Paint had fallen off the roof on the upper floors, and everything was covered in this white dust. This common room was one of the few on the boys’ side to have art on the walls. Something in that colorful pattern pleases me.Continue reading “Smells Like Teen Spirit Part XVII”
Smells Like Teen Spirit Part XVI
Another funny detail in the building was, that the main staircase of the new annex building was actually located in the old building. The second floor common room. The boys had much more comfortable couches than the girls, but they had to share the kitchen and living room with a much larger group of peopleContinue reading “Smells Like Teen Spirit Part XVI”
Smells Like Teen Spirit Part XV
We’ll start our tour on the dark… I mean the old side with a cupbord under the stairs, where the local Harry Potter has hidden Christmas flowers and a bottle of brandy. The basement was a mess just like everything else. On the floor there are construction drawings, but what interests me the most isContinue reading “Smells Like Teen Spirit Part XV”
Smells Like Teen Spirit Part XIV
The first room down here was the graveyard of bikes. A dusty electic piano has been left behind. Behind the piano was a corridor very similar to the one on all the floors above. But I didn’t expect to find apartments here. The rooms here were larger and were apparently used by the pupils forContinue reading “Smells Like Teen Spirit Part XIV”
Smells Like Teen Spirit Part XIII
Just another kitchen, but this kitchen looks very different from the identical ones in all the previous posts. This means, that I have left the original dormitory building and entered the newer annex. The first room I entered was very pink and very bright. I somehow doubt that this was the original colour of theContinue reading “Smells Like Teen Spirit Part XIII”
