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...

Abandoned Printing Plant (Part 3)

So...I've been absent from my blog for a couple of days...really a lot to do at work and I needed some recreation and to spend less time in front of the computer...
But here are some more photos from my trip to the abandoned printing plant! Some of them you may know from the first two posts about this location - I have processed them with different software to get some more atmosphere in the pictures. Enjoy!

Abandoned Printing Plant (Part 2)

Okay, now for round two - here is the second set of photos I took this week during my exploration of a regional newspaper's abandoned printing plant.

Abandoned Printing Plant

This printing plant belongs to the publishing company of a regional newspaper and was built in the 1970s and has been used until 2003 when the entire printing operation of the newspaper was moved to a bigger facility.

The old building, situated right next to the administration offices of the publishing company, still stands, and yesterday - ten years after it was closed down - I was granted access by the management and was able to take photos.
I spent almost 4 hours in there and out came a couple of really good pictures I think.
There's a lot of them, so I'll probably need a lot more than one post to share them all, so keep an eye open for the next post!

Here's the first set of the photos I took:
