An old colleague wanted to go to Germany and shoot some abandoned places and of course I wanted to go too :-) We left Aalborg friday afternoon and reached the hotel many hours later in Germany. Checking in, dropping the luggage and then out to find the place... Our pre-googling was not the best and we had to ask a local guy.
Our German language was not that good and his English skills was not existing. But we did find the place when the dark started to reach the place.
The place is an old hotel that closed down some years ago. Very trashed place and dangerous to walk around on upper floors.
Next day we drowe apx. 100 kilometers to find our other destination. This was an easy place to find and we parked the car to find a place to get in. It was a huge building with 4 or 5 floors and thousands of square-meters to investigate.
I think we've been walking around for 5 minutes and of course the place had two security guys walking around. Damn they scared the hell out of us and we had to get out in the heavy rain again.
We walked around outside to check the place out and later we decided to get in again to shoot some pictures before heading back to Denmark.
This time we could hear someone walking on some glass and we were prepared to meet "somebody" in there. And we did! There was a strange man, almost having a heart attack, when we entered the same room where he was in the middle of stealing copper from the electric installations. No wonder why they have security in there. We agreed with him to be quiet and we took some pictures before getting out again. The damn camera shutter is incredible loud when you are in so big empty buildings and want to be invisible. I have to admit that i wasn't too proud of the situation.
But here is one of the pictures that I shot, before running out again :-)
