If it's verboten it's got to be fun.

New post! The Stasi watchtower in Weißensee overlooks a derelict building that hides a dirty secret in its basement – this is where the Stasi had a shooting range for target practice.

A news update from Abandoned Berlin

It’s been so long since there was any news update on this site you probably think it’s been abandoned. But as you hopefully see, it’s been totally redesigned and I hope it’s much better than before. There’s other news too.

NEW POST! The beloved Fischerpinte at Plötzensee has sadly met its end after the death of its owner. It was probably the best place anywhere in Berlin to enjoy a beer in summer. The photos were taken yesterday.

Fischerpinte was a beloved old-Berliner boathouse, pub and biergarten on wooden decking at Plötzensee that the Bezirksamt won’t allow reopen after the proprietor died.

Excited to announce a new offspring, a new venture for Abandoned Berlin, Rudi’s Berlin! Where Rudi basically writes about weird and wacky places around the city, not necessarily abandoned, but peculiar enough to merit being written about.

You’ll find all the places here: https://www.abandonedberlin.com/rudi

And the first place featured on Rudi’s Berlin is the Soviet-flag-waving Anti-War-Café: https://www.abandonedberlin.com/rudi/antiwarcafe
It's probably the cheapest bar in Berlin, and that's always a good thing to know. Peace ✌️

The Anti-War Café feels like a romantic throwback to the plenary room of a 1980s squat. The main theme here is peace – peace on Earth and peace with the Soviet people.

NEW POST! The first for many yonks. And in a stunning development, Facebook is the first place I'm posting it to! (Writing this post make me think of the elderly and vulnerable, so this is for you guys).

Pflegeheim Saalow, or the Maxim-Zetkin-Pflegeheim to give it its full title, was once East Germany’s showcase nursing and retirement home, taking in the elderly, the disabled, and anyone else that regular folks in both Germanies didn’t want to be bothered with.

Intentions may have been good but conditions were horrific and it was eventually closed down some time after the demise of the country it was in.

Pflegeheim Saalow, a nursing and retirement home, was lauded by East German authorities for its treatment of the most vulnerable people in the DDR. But it was horrific.

Pionierlager Klim Woroschilow, the film!

Pionierlager Klim Woroschilow was a summer holiday camp for East German children while the country still existed. They sang songs around campfires and generally…

New post! (Apologies, Facebook is always the last to know. Or is it?)

This one concerns Pionierlager Klim Woroschilow, an East German summer camp where kids were sent for carefree summers beside the lake. It's hard to believe now, but there was indeed a time summers were carefree...

Pionierlager Klim Woroschilow had its heyday when East Germany still existed. The socialist state’s young and impressionable enjoyed summers of fun at the youth camp.
