Seebad Prora

Not all walls crumbled.

Herzlich Willkommen!

The Prora S-Bahn train stop.

[EN] The quick stop was just long enough to exit the S-Bahn train at the grassy bank where the sign read “Prora”. Salty spring air greeted us as the beach vendors were firing up the first bratwursts for the season. An old concrete road guided us from the grassy bank to the abandoned structures and a door ajar. We went inside.

[SE] Det korta uppehållet var precis tillräcklig för att hinna av pendeltåget vid grässkullen där skylten meddelade ”Prora”. Salt vårluft mötte oss samtidigt som försäljarna på stranden satte fyr på säsongens första bratwurst. En sliten betongväg ledde oss från gräskullen till de övergivna huskropparna och en dörr på glänt. Vi gick in.

The wings lined up.

My first encounter with the classic DDR era street lamp and possibly the Badlamp to start it all.

Long, long corridors. One of many.

Chill-inducing sophistication. Very transcendental.

Yann: Haha, not many. I did see another person sneaking about but we never said hi or anything. During peak season when the beaches are cramped I can imagine that quite a few find their way in here, though.

Elegant Cats: Thanks, that's the impression I sought! The atmosphere in here was very light and not hostile in any way, which is rare for an abandonment, I think.

Wunderschön!
Fantastisk djupkänsla och sköna varma färger i kontrast till den förfallna och prosaiska miljön. Gillar linjen som delar färgfälten och bilden.

Danke danke, Stefan!

Ein bratwurst by the sea, bitte!

Flugzeugerkennungsdienst

“Aircraft Recognition Service”. A cold war era sign used to board up a door on the ground floor (the image is tilted). It was dark and I was travelling light so no tripod, hence to grainy quality.

I probably used a small torch here. Still no tripod, though.
