One half of one building at an otherwise functioning psychiatric and epileptic hospital… at least it wasn’t a total loss of a morning!

Stunningly beautiful spaces created by a lone sanatorium, almost completely enclosed with metal screens.

A hospital for infants and children slowly deteriorates in the Weißensee district of Berlin. Inside are curious rooms designed for sterility and disinfection, shedding their colors in large peels of paint.

Irrenanstalt Weiler – a psychiatric hospital where the majority of patients were exterminated under Hitler’s Action T4 program, however found life again after the war. Take a walk into the cool basements of the abandoned mortuary and see what’s left behind…

Erich Wagner Kindersanatorium – an decrepit children’s hospital hidden in the woods.

Prora KdF Seaside Resort – the largest construction project undertaken by the Third Reich, although it was never completed.

Peenemünde Army Research Center – the birthplace of Germany’s infamous V-2 rocket.

Continenal Limmer – a massive, decaying complex in Hannover, seeping who knows what into the surrounding river.

Kokerei Zollverein – once considered the largest coking plant in Europe, it is now a massive, rusting elephant of industry.

Fort Marabout – hiking through the woods, looking for something called “Element 31″ – any guess was a good as ours!

Heidelberg Thingplatz – a former theater constructed to promote Nazi propaganda through plays and rallies.

Krankenbunker “Breuning” – an underground bunker which was expanded to include a “hospital” deep within these cement walls.

Heusden-Zolder Coal Mine – a gallery of what remains at the Zolder mine, and some fun exterior photos of the nearby Beringen mine.

Huy Mill – just another roadside attraction, with a really neat water tower and some interesting graffiti.

Usine de Senelle – this furnace in France was demolished by the time I arrived, but the giant crucible was left in the middle of the field, along with some interesting machinery.

Quieter This Time

Another round at Fort de la Chartreuse’s maze of rooms and tunnels, including the prison block.
