Drab Business Park
A drab watchtower (last photo of the series) still witnesses that this area was once the headquarters of the "Stasi" guards regiment. After the German re-unification, these grounds located at a motorway in Brandenburg far away from any city were transformed to a business park with a service area for truckers. Not really surprising with respect to this location, its business model with outlet stores, mostly for cheapies was not very successful. After a while all shops closed and the business park became more and more abandoned. At that time, part of the premises were still used as a rehabilitation clinic, but meanwhile it was shut down as well. Now, since the huge immigration wave in 2015, the old motel within the business park adopted a new purpose as a home for refugees. Quite a dreary place with a dark history and no real perspective...
