Movie location – Krampnitz

I have written several times here and on Flickr that Krampnitz has been used as location for movies like ‘Inglourious Basterds’ (2009) and ‘Enemy at the gates’ (2001). Here is the proof. I have watched both movies and found the ‘Officers mess’ and ‘Heating house’. These are the places I have been to myself, but of course both movies have scenes shot in other buildings around the Krampnitz complex. The only thing I haven’t found is the swastika mosaic so that is still a mystery to me.

Changes – blog v.2

Welcome back to my blog. This is version 2. The name of the previous version was “Forlatte steder”.

I decided to do some big changes to my blog before Easter. I hope those of you familiar with my first blog will still find it interesting to read, even if it’s in english now. Version 1 was read 30.000 times before I closed it. Thanks to all who have wanted the blog back and been positive it’s content.

In this version I will try to better conceal the identity of the locations I have photographed. That is because owners of places are concerned that occupants and/or people not interested in history and photography will vandalize their property. Therefore I will also to some extend try to delete comments which reveal the location of a site. With Google and reading news papers you will probably find these locations anyway.

I addition to my own traveling and photography, I will try to write about other interesting abandoned and fascinating places around the world or other articles related to dereliction, decay, photography or urban exploration.
