This is absolutely fabulous...
After 1989 a lot of people left the east part of Germany .. it was nearly the same. There have been a lot of old houses without an owner. I loved to go through these places. and i found some really treasures sometimes. A lot of old books... My "best found" was a wooden figure maybe from an old church. I worked at the Museum of History at this time and i could date the figure into the second half of the 18. century.
I really love the pictures you share here :)
So many crumbling mysteries .. .
beautiful images.
(I'm have a bit of a decayed and crumbling moment this week -
with M.Eastmans' photos)
Jjj
