Lugosi's pit and his pendulum was in the basement, but the scrappers got it.

Shapeless Shadows

Interesting that nobody checked those for vintage military uniforms. That bad, huh? 8^O

And don't forget that full-bodied green slime palate Vince!

Käfig

autoguy

Perhaps used to treat sick prisoners from a military stockade or a local prison? A simple detention area? No telling with some of these isolated military complexes. The Russian military occupied this for 50 years. For them, talking about anything was prohibited so some of this history may get lost forever.

Looking Back

Good question BKW! As you, I'll guess the corridor was too narrow to have them open into it, but they still needed them to open that direction so PTs could not barricade themselves in.

Wald im Inneren

The green is making me feel so calm now. I'll stop trying to chew my way through the iron bars on the windows now.

Solar

A flat wooden form was likely used to hold up the brick as it was laid, and then removed after the mortar had set. Interesting how they are not arched a bit like some brick ceilings are.

Division

autoguy

Isolation areas huh? POWs, shell-shocked soldiers, or anyone "disliked" for that matter. I wonder if any old timers in the area have any stories? I would think so.

Betten

The metal scrappers missed some stuff! The zombies got them before they found these.

Narrow Pavilion

autoguy

Yeah. I'll guess chairs to sit, and then maybe the windows were opened and the overhang kept rain out of the wards? Your historical account indicates that a warmer climate was preferred at first. Maybe the doctors were not fully sold on the cold fresh air treatments that seemed to be common here in the states?

Stone

Eastern Germany faces some tough challenges. Looks like any metal salvage available was very welcome. I guess history doesn't mean much when one has an empty stomach.

Bricked

Sure is beautiful stuff Motts, absolutely. With so much old school craftsmanship in this complex, it would be great to see it get rescued.

I don't recall seeing transoms like that before. Very cool!

That roof trussing is awesome! Red floor, blue benches, green ceiling. The decorator was from Warsaw.

Anteroom

This "might" had been where the TB patients were exposed to lots of cold fresh air. Practiced in many place globally, it must had soothed their lungs and aided recovery. I see no large double doorways to roll beds in and out however.

Black doesn't show the bloody splatters as much as lighter colors. Don't have to clean it as often.

That's the giant lobster monster that lives in the lake. It eats the explorers and any body parts left behind by the zombies.

I knew it! The lobotomy room had to be there somewhere.

Did the lamp express it's curiosity? And what was it curious of?

Ceiling Strips

autoguy

The roofs on many of these buildings are failing and this complex is starting to take a beating for it. Hopefully the 2012 plans for rehab and reuse will take place. This "remote lakeside location" is a very pretty place for a youth center.

You're seeing the brick wall that extends above the window ferdy. It is exposed due to the missing ceiling. It plays a bit of a trick on the eye.

Determined Faces

Looky there, it's "Mr Warmth"! I can feel the love. Looks like more chunks of that thin board material that was on the wall. That CCCP emblem with a fellow holding a large sword and a child is quite interesting.

Mmmmm! Real German Weiss beer! Even better when made by little flute-playing imps with horns.
