The plant began its life when the city was known as Königsberg it closed early 21st century and suffered massive fire damage destroying many of the buildings.
When the area fell under USSR control for a period up until 1948 circa 600 German pows and 450 German and Russian civilians were utilised to operate the plant.
This was fun up 3 floors, well I say floors let’s call them big holes with bits attached.
What’s left of what would be the process heating system
Bits and pieces from the canteen area: chocolate and beer just what every worker needs
Just various snapshots of the place
At the top looking down into the now redundant cellulose storage vats
At the top admiring the views
I get the feeling someone is watching me and I got no privacy’
If you not living on the edge you’re taking up too much space
I can't see whether these storage silos have openings down there in case you fall in. Seems like on one of the latter photos you walk down there between them and there is a way out, right?
From the moon window up the top looks like there's a full complex of buildings there? Great site!
At ground level the solos are conical what you see are the concrete support legs, if I remember correctly
Yes it was smack bang in the middle of a working industrial complex! My “guide” told me that folk don’t pay much attention to what’s going on around them, that doesn’t affect them. Wish it were like that in U.K.!!
What’s it like in Estonia? Do people interfere?
Here it feels like next to every derelict object, there is a construction site, so yeah, they might interfere if they feel their object is threatened. I guess it boils down to this, how separate the object is and how dangerous you look. If you look harmless and journalistic, people might not give you a second look. Of course, I haven't done sites like you have, private residences and such... but I will run out of objects soon if I don't broaden my horizon :)
The world is there for the taking 😂
Yup, them be some proper holes!
