By now I had explored most of the rooms of this building and I had
a bit of lunch outside next to the door where I came in. When I looked
up I noticed the balcony above me. I had not been to that level yet.
So I went back in and started looking for another staircase, but the
only thing I could find was a hole in the ceiling. Maybe the top level
had been abandoned longer ago and the stairs had been removed. Or
the entrance to this level is somewhere I hadn't been yet.
Anyway, I gave up and crossed over to where the demolition had already
begun.
Already demolished. It seems they
sort and take away the debris first before continuing with the demolition.
From inside the partly demolished
hall.
Here too a small office still filled
with documents. Half a bottle of cola is growing some interesting
yellow fungus.
Another picture of the desk in this
small office. I stole a spindle of thread from here as a souvenir,
don't think anyone will miss it.
Was (almost ?) seen by cyclists here.
Containers to transport the sorted
debris.
Some buildings, like the main office building, I hadn't explored
yet because they were in plain view of the busy road. I felt I had
done enough for today and left the same way I came in. I took some
pictures of the outside walking around the factory for the last time
and then went home.
Front gate and administration building.
Nice lights on the fenceposts

Only a week had past since the previous exploration session in
Spinnerei Deutschland, but I knew I had missed some parts of the
complex and it was being demolished so there wasn't much time left.
In contrast to a week ago this time the weather was rainy.
Entering the factory grounds the same way as last time I immediately
saw the progress of the demolition workers. Part of the wall of
the large hall had been knocked down, together with several side
buildings. I entered through the big hole in the wall, carefully
because the roof here was hanging down dangerously.
