Old Harbour Building, Stralsund - Stralsund

I loved the old decaying buildings in Stralsund, although perhaps many others won't. They are an unusual feature for a town, at least for me, and reminded me of some of the decaying and burned out old buildings about my village as a boy, before the place became a gentrified satellite of the commuter belt. This first picture is of an old harbour building on the marina, as seen from the Frankendam.

Old House, Wasserstrasse, Stralsund

This small building on Wasserstrasse, along from the Heilgeistkloster, is jammed in between some nicely restored buildings and offers excellent contrast.

Gabled House, Frankenstr., Stralsund

This rotten gabled building on Frankenstrasse is wonderfully evocative of a bygone era.

Little else remains of this old house near Jakobikirche except from the front wall.

Lake View Apartments, Stralsund

These rotten old apartments have a wonderful view over the Frankenteich lake, and would make a fantastic restoration project.

Old Frankenwall Building, Stralsund

Again overlooking Frankenteich lake, on the Frankenwall road, this colourfully decaying little building has been most likely marked for destruction.

Old Hovel, Stralsund

Underneath St. Marien's church, between Frankenwall and Marienstr., is a collection of old hovels, including this little gem. This could be worth a fortune one day.

Old and New, Stralsund

Showing the growing plague of modernity as it overtakes the old relics, here is a before and after shot from near St Marien's church.

Greetings from Athens, Greece where the sun is still shining and the sea is still warm enough for swimming!

I like such small towns in Germany. Fantastic views of Knieperteich and Fankenteich.
