 Built in 1688, the castle was used as an insane asylum since 1811. During the Governance of the Nazis many thousand sick, old, "non-aryan" and mentally handicapped people were killed in gas chambers in the basements of the castle.
After WWII it housed a factory for turbines as well as a sanatorium and a sheltered workshop.

Truly a place where lots of history took place, this beautiful old building decays since 1991.

Wow, basically don't have much more to offer than that. Great tones, so much to look at, especially after reading the background.

the ethereal nature of the image, the delicate touch of light on the trees and rooftops, the framing of the building on the right all draw us in, wanting us to lower ourselves to explore

Love the tones and process. Could be an etching. Thanks for the background story.

Very well rendered - has an anonymity to it that belies what took place there.

There is alot to take in and the story makes the image that much more compelling.

Wonderful panorama of the city.

Moving view and viewpoint. I can put much imagining into this photo, partly because I am at present reading Before the Flood by Otto Friedrich, about Berlin in the 1920s. That far of light is divine, more or less, in symbolism... nice series of photos.
