Tour Report: The Moldy Office

Right in the middle of an industrial area in a small city in Eastern Germany lies this abandoned office building. I had gotten a tip regarding this place while planning a tour together with my wife.
The first spot of the tour had been a really successful explore, and the dinner at our friend's place had been spectacular, so we were hoping for another good day after a kind of short night.

The next morning, we left pretty early since we had planned a couple of spots. For the first spot, we drove East. It took only about thirty minutes before we arrived. As mentioned, the place was right in the middle of a commercial area. It was Thursday, so there were lots of cars and people passing by, and the building itself didn't really look spectacular; it looked like the typical East German apartment block, so we pondered for a while if we really should take the risk of getting caught for nothing...
After a few minutes, we decided to just go in. There was an open fence, so we quickly went to the back side of the building. It didn't take long and we found an open door.

At first sight, the inside was just as we'd expected - the same boring East German stuff as on the outside. After we inspected the first couple of rooms, however, we began to appreciate what we saw - a building that had been vandalized a rather long time ago, so the decay had enough time to set in and paint mold on the walls, ceilings and floors...
We took our time to check out every room of the place, and in the end, we didn't regret entering this building. There were some really nice shots to be taken - I especially liked the room with the moss-covered floor...

After about one and a half hours, we were done. It had started raining, and we made our way back to the car to drive to the thext spot on our list...
