The following yearly check up was to a former mental asylum, which I had discovered back in 2021. I visited again in 2022 only to find out, that the former staff apartments had found new inhabitants. Since then it had been on the news, that the owner plans Airsoft games to be played in theContinue reading “Looks Like A Write-Off”

The Pile Is Something New
Yet again I am back at a familiar location. I’ve been to this mental asylum two times now, the previous one being in 2022. As I haven’t found a way in, I am back looking for one. Back then this pile of what looks like large plastic bags wasn’t present. I think somebody has sensedContinue reading “The Pile Is Something New”
Lakefront Plans Cancelled
The last location that evening was a mental asylum. Built in 1958 and closed in 2016 because they had difficulties attracting competent staff to the small town, it has stood empty ever since. A couple of years ago the town wanted to buy it from the hospital district, demolish it and plan lakefront housing onContinue reading “Lakefront Plans Cancelled”
In Good Care Part VII
Moving behind the row houses to see if I could find a way in through a back door. There are hundreds of doors. Why can’t I find an open one? Somebody still cuts the grass here. Another house. Moving on to the area where the houses for higher ranking hospital staff were. This probably isContinue reading “In Good Care Part VII”
The Yearly Check Up Led To Nothing
As I’ve said several times, whenever I can’t enter a location, I mark it up and return to it the following year. And that’s exactly why I’m here. These are the former staff apartments of a former mental asylum featured earlier in here. Sometimes, if nothing has changed since my previous visit, I don’t evenContinue reading “The Yearly Check Up Led To Nothing”
First Signs Of Vandalism Part II
The third building is also from the 1950’s I believe that it has originally been a staff apartment building. Moving around, checking doors. But finding nothing. The back of the 1980’s part. And the building I believe to be an apartment building. The facade of the main building. There were broken windows even in theContinue reading “First Signs Of Vandalism Part II”
Let’s Have A Look
Back again at the end of a nearly roadless road. I am here, because my friend sent me a tip about a former working colony of a a former mental asylum. The concept is a bit difficult to explain, but back in the days it was believed, that being useful and working was the keyContinue reading “Let’s Have A Look”
New Life Found
The first location the following morning was a mental asylum area, which I had already visited the previous summer. It was abandoned in 2016, when the facility closed. There were plans to demolish the buildings, but a local investor bought them in 2020. To my surprise he had managed to blow new life to theContinue reading “New Life Found”
Wandering In Darkness Part VII
Before moving to the dormitory side, let’s feature a few close ups on things in the apartment, such as this old beauty. And this shelf with all kinds of random magazines and guides from the late 1990’s or early 2000’s. The wallpaper looks a bit strange to me. And so does this cage. The kitchenContinue reading “Wandering In Darkness Part VII”
Wandering In Darkness Part VI
The student apartment corridor, which actually looks more like a dormitory than apartments. There are rooms on both sides of the corridor. And a classic shared shower and bath. One of the dorm rooms. The symmetrical layout indicates to me, that each room had two beds. There also are two beds in the room. AContinue reading “Wandering In Darkness Part VI”
