The Kulturehaus - July 24

Kulturehaus

​

A completely superb place from my solo 8 day in Europe last year. Thanks to @Priority 7 for pointing me to this one, himself & a few others were swiftly on my heals here but more about that later,

​

Much is made of sites like the Re-Education centre that sole purpose was to indoctrinate the populous, however it was far from the only method used. The GDR constructed these Kulturhaus' anywhere there was a centre of production, mines, steelworks etc as a "gift" to the workers to enjoy films and entertainment with their families. Needless to say these films and performances would be nothing more than a method to reinforce the idealogy of the ruling party.

​

Priority has already posted some excellent pics here https://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/threads/kulturhaus-p.39532/ though Im not sure how he managed to narrow it down to that few lol


the Explore

Took a bit of time to get in this one but Im so glad I persisted. "one" of my favorite explores out there if Im honest.
So I knew priority & the guys were heading to this one too but after a few hours in here seeing someone coming down the stairs still sent me running to the nearest hideout which happened to be ... the womens toilet!
There I held out for 10 min or so frantically messaging everyone in the group until I realised it actually was them I had seen

I did get some lovely shots of the toilets though

​

Anyway did I mention this place is nice. first we come into the foyer

​

Each side of the foyer lays a rather impressive mirrored set of stairs

​

Staying in the lower rooms for now modest corridors take you through to various storage rooms

​

These rooms contained lots of goodies, here we have some architectural pieces that have clearly came off the building somewhere

​

What have we here? projector of some sorts

​

Heading under the stage there was some lovely curtain mechanisms & a cool stage lift.

​

Heading upstairs they are just as impressive from the top.

​

Once upstairs the place first adorns this rather lovely ballroom

​

Next a small conference room

​

Finally the Pièce de résistance the main theatre

​

Finally a few random shots.
