Tour Report: The House of the German [DK]

It was the final spot on our tour together with Pixelcracker and Lost Places in Schleswig-Holstein und Umland back in April of last year. We had gotten a tip regarding this place, but had first checked out the location right across the street that we didn't know about.
So after we were done exploring the "First House on the Left", we went over and entered through the open front door - as it's common in Denmark.
The place was pretty much trashed, so I only took some detail shots - but those reveal very clearly why the location is called "The House of the German".
Apparently, the person who lived here displayed some more than right-wing political views. We found newspapers, books and even sheet music that clearly pointed in this direction.
After about 45 minutes, we had seen enough and started our drive back home.
South of the Danish border, we went for our traditional quick snack at a fast-food joint and then went our separate ways.

Soviet Airfield LT

It was afternoon when Freddy from Nordgriller Urbex and I arrived at the final location of our short tour through the Northeast of Germany back in November of 2016. The former airfield that was built more than 80 years ago was located near the autobahn, so it was a pretty convenient stop before starting our way home.
We parked the car by the side of a nearby road and walked the rest of the way.
The afternoon sun and the beginning sunset made for a fantastic light as we walked up to the hangars, and the cold day made the grass crackle beneath our shoes. It was a really unique atmosphere; the air was crisp and the beautiful light emphasized the way nature has been reclaiming this place for the past twenty years.
Parts of the old airfield have been reused by some local industry, so the area does not have its original size anymore. After about two hours, we had checked out most of the remains and walked back to the car watching the final rays of daylight as we drove off.

Tour Report: Ammunition Depot "Brown Star"

It was back in late November of 2016. I had just bought my new camera and got a text from my good friend Nordgriller Urbex, who asked me if I was up for a short tour the next day.
Of course I was!
I had to get up early the next morning so we'd have enough sunlight for a few spots. Getting up, however, was a difficult task that morning. My wife and I had gotten a little drunk together with a friend from my work and it had gotten a bit too late.
A hot shower and the cold air once I got outside helped to become sober - and it was a beautiful sunny winter day.
We drove East through a snowy landscape until we got to our first location. It was an old ammunitions depot that had originally been built by the Wehrmacht and was used by either the East German or the Soviet army after World War II.
The road was blocked, so we parked the car and walked the rest of the way. There were only a few ammo bunkers, nothing spectacular, so we just did a short walkthrough around the place, took a few photos and drove off to the next spot.

Tour Report: A Place of Execution

This abandoned military shooting range was the second spot that I visited together with my friend North Urbex on a tour back in November of last year.
It is really close to my home, so it was about time that I pay a visit.
Next to the short way, the place also has played a significant part in the dark history of the Third Reich, which makes it even more interesting to explore. During the summer, the local farmers' cows are grazing here, but in the winter, an eerie silence lies over the entire area.
The weather was grey and cold when North Urbex and I arrived at the location and found a place to park in a nearby industrial area. We walked along the fence until we found a hole which was big enough to enter. First, we found the remains of the old shooting area that was used during the time of the Nazis. We then went on to check out the newer facilities. Local teens have endulged themselves in vandalism and graffiti "art", so little is left of the original surfaces.
Nonetheless, it was an interesting place to explore, and we checked out every last corner before we drove off to the next spot.

Tour Report: Soviet Airfield S.

It's no secret that I am really a fan of the Soviet relics you can find in Eastern Germany, so whenever I get the chance, I have to check them out. My wife isn't too much into all the military stuff, but she is fond of a nice walk in the park, so to speak, so when the opportunity arose for a quick stop at this abandoned Soviet airfield on the way up North towards the end of last years summer vacation, of course we took it.
The weather was great, but as a lot of times in these locations, parking was a bit of a problem. There were no regular parking places, so we just parked in an industrial area near a junkyard and a dog training area. There were a bunch of obscure-looking people around, but the attraction of the airfield was bigger that our desire for security.
The parking spot we chose offered direct access to the old airfield. We didn't have too much time since we still had a couple of hundred kilometers to go to our friend's place, so we quickly went and we only checked out a couple of buildings and the two large hangars.
The hangars were really cool, because there are only the carcasses of rusty steel and rotting wood left.
I hop that we will have the chance to come back and check out the rest of this huge place.
