Some of you have been waiting for it, but I'm happy to announce there will finally be a new AB film on the Vimeo/Youtube channels this evening. It's short, and hopefully sweet. Bis später! 🎬🐗

Looking forward to the day this is abandoned.
The most expensive Autobahn ever is going to be opened shortly, connecting Berlin-Neukölln and -Treptow.There is police at every access and on every bridge, of course also parking on bike lanes. Apparently the ceremony is going to take place in a hotel nearby which has been cordened off.

NEW!

Pionierlager Klim Woroschilow enjoyed its heyday when East Germany still existed. The good children of the socialist state were sent to youth camps for summers of fun and no doubt to help them develop a healthy distrust of the West. The distrust was warranted.

From Instagram, a story of someone tagging AB to say they’d removed a pro-Palestinian sticker, and my response to say such stickers don’t survive long in Berlin because they’re offensive to people who support ethnic cleansing.
But I don’t think Instagram is showing the story. It’s also complicit.

A bit late, but your annual reminder that today is the best day of the year to go exploring – all the Polizei are in Kreuzberg. Happy 1. Mai folks! Be careful out there. 🚔🚨💥

Bärenquell Brauerei was abandoned on April Fool’s Day, 1994 - no joke.

I didn’t post these yesterday because no one would have believed me.

A photo of curtains in a window from a place I haven’t written about yet that I’m posting here to give myself a kick up the arse to finally write about it. There’s video too. It’s a special place. I’m going to do my best to have a post on it soon.

Abandoned Berlin is now on Pixelfed!

We’ll have to see how it goes as an Instagram alternative. Importing didn’t work so I’m kinda starting again. Accessible anywhere on the Fediverse. Better than Zuckland. Let’s see.

Abandoned Berlin has formally left Twitter. More than 10,000 followers but people need to take a stand. That platform should be banned for election interference, disinformation, the spread of hate,
and for its role in destabilizing society.

Christmas Eve at the abandoned Iraqi embassy to East Germany.

In case anyone needs diplomatic immunity over the festive season.

Please don't try get into the Luna Lager bunker in Schönholzer Heide. As per NABU, it's now home to protected bats who are likely to die if disturbed. The rest of the park is fine to visit, of course, and there are a couple of abandoned embassies nearby...

A wartime bunker is all that’s left of the former Luna-Lager labor camp at Schönholzer Heide, now a grassy, pretty wild and pleasant 35-hectare park.
