In a city near Erfurt Germany in a burned out and abandoned hotel this room sits quiet amongst the bustle of the busy city outside, slowly it is being reclaimed by nature and no one knows of the beauty that sits inside this abandoned building only a few feet from the sidewalk.
The hotel suffered from a fire 3 years ago but it was purchased by a man who used his brothers stolen passport to obtain the loan. The hotel is just sitting in idle decline while the German courts try to decide who ownership of the property belongs to now.

I love the urban decay and when the nature takes over the man-made enviroment. This pic is simply fantastic and a source of inspiration 
This is still by far my favorite photograph of an abandoned building. The perspective is on point and the colors you've captured are beautiful in being both prominent and subtle at the same time. Amazing capture.
lovely shot

i did not even mention schweinfurt XD you said its close to erfurt (somewhat) and im going to be there soon so i was interested... you think you could give me google maps coords or an address?
Er...yeah I meant Erfurt....I live in Schweinfurt....unfortunately if you can locate it on your own then I wish you luck but I don't give out locations merely for the fact that I have come back to sites after giving out their location only to find them vandalized or spray painted by stupid graffiti artists and ruined so unfortunately I can not give you this location.
Easy you look for a building that has broken windows and lots of dust on the windowsills that looks like it is abandoned...it usually is....Step #2 ....go inside
I hope you wore a mask. And kept a machete nearby in case any slime molds snuck up behind you.
Mesmerizing, this is one of those pictures where you have to look at it for a long time to truly grasp all of the details.
