This seems to be the main lobby of the school. This was also, where the entrance from the street level was to. Young love, it seems. Another small room. I’m still a bit puzzled about their purpose. It seems that I have reched the end of the corridor. I’m still not any wiser about whereContinue reading “This Screams Abandonment Part II”

This Screams Abandonment Part I
While sitting in my car Googling, which of the buildings would go first to, I found an article about the closure of the schools in the area. It mentioned one further school, which I previously was unaware about. The school had been built in the 1960’s and closed in 2012. In 2013 it was announced,Continue reading “This Screams Abandonment Part I”
I Said That The List Gets Longer
Same city, another school. I’ve removed its name in order to try to protect it. Originally this was the main building of a teacher seminar and was built in 1950. It last served as an elementary school until 2015, when the pupils were moved out because of air quality problems. The heating is still on,Continue reading “I Said That The List Gets Longer”
The Demolition List Gets Longer And Longer
The next familiar location. This old elementary school has been abandoned since at least the 2010’s. It has been on the demolition list of the town for years, but there’s so much to demolish, that it has stayed up. Despite being abandoned for so long, there hasn’t been much vandalism. I think the building isContinue reading “The Demolition List Gets Longer And Longer”
The Dancing Is Over
When I first started urbexing, I was pretty quiet about it. After all, it is basically illegal, although nobody can specify, which law I break, if I don’t break or steal anything. I only came out after ten years or so. But my current employer has been extremely supportive. They know all about it, inContinue reading “The Dancing Is Over”
Is This Really Supposed To Be In Here?
Again I was looking for something completely different. And ran across a largish building on the verge of collapse. Ok, it did feature a loading dock and a large door. But that didn’t seem to be the original purpose of it. The place was in a very bad shape. The main entrance seemed like thatContinue reading “Is This Really Supposed To Be In Here?”
Making Way For Apartments
This here is a former hospital. Built originally in 1937 and enlarged in 1962 it first was a large regional hospital and after 1988 the city hospital in the area. It later served as an ordinary clinic and was abandoned in 2018 after air quality problems arose. Since 2018 it has been planned to demolishContinue reading “Making Way For Apartments”
A Tip From A Friend Part IV
The 1957 school wasn’t the only building on the lot. It was actually fairly common for lightly built extensions to be added to the lots of rural schools in the 1960’s, when smaller schools started to close. And such an addition was done even here. According to old maps there has even been a newContinue reading “A Tip From A Friend Part IV”
A Tip From A Friend Part III
Entering the second apartment. There was even a toilet here. The living room. Another room. And the following one. Interestingly enough they formed a chain. Back in the previous room. I am once again very satisfied with this picture. The kitchen. This one was also pretty much in its original 1950’s shape. Cracks have startedContinue reading “A Tip From A Friend Part III”
A Tip From A Friend Part II
So the basement featured a small corridor. Let’s see, what’s behind that door. Another classroom it is. It looks like a jungle gym has been on the wall. This must be the former gym of the school. But there also seems to have been a blackboard. So this room has served several purposes. This looksContinue reading “A Tip From A Friend Part II”
