The Forgotten - hpd fotografy

Lost Places!

The real urbexer will not break anything in (or to get into) abandoned places. In fact that is considered very bad form. Vandalism and graffiti are not allowed. It's like nature photography: Leave only footprints, take only pictures. But, other than in nature, you often get a very sad feeling of just how much has been lost and forgotten in time.

Rapunzel's Castle

Probably one of the last impressions from this famous Urbex juwel you will ever see. Taken in March 2016. Construction work has already begun. The whole place is swarming with workers and machines by now. The medieval charm of old is gone, another story is over.

···

TV and Chill

Home of a real TV addict, left long before Netflix took over the chilling business.

···

Corridor of Broken Dreams

The sad remains of a large hospital in Eastern Germany, run down by a century of history and then left alone since more than 20 years.

···

Anna, is that you?

The piano in one of the most iconic Urbex locations in Germany. Those of you in the know will understand the title. For all others I hope the title is as mystique as the image. After all those years, this still is my favorite piano room.

···

The Grand Theater Hall

Grand hall in a huge abandoned hotel in Eastern Germany, which had almost a century of colorful history but is rotting away since the days of the 'DDR'. It is awaiting complete demolition now, so this might be one of the last pictures you will ever see of this place.

···

Hell's Kitchen

The kitchen of an old, long abandoned retirement home. How many last meals might have been prepared here?

···

Under The Ceiling

It used to be such a magnificent building... way back in the days... way, WAY back.

···

Let The Celebrations Begin!

If you are still looking for that perfect venue to celebrate next New Year's Eve, the wine cellar I found underneath an abandoned doctor's home might be just the perfect place.

Backstage Perspective

The backstage area of the grand theater in a large Russian military barracks somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Eastern Germany. You can see the stage behind the curtain on the right. The whole place is abandoned since decades now.

···

The Famous Beelitz Piano

The piano in the famous Whitney Houston House at Beelitz Heilstätten. I tried to give the magnificent old hall AND the piano both the weight they deserve in this vertorama, stitched from 7 ultrawide-angle frames.

···

Over The Counter

From Wikipedia: 'An over-the-counter (OTC) is a bilateral contract in which two parties (or their brokers or bankers as intermediaries) agree on how a particular trade or agreement is to be settled in the future...' Get the picture? If not, try this one. There's a counter right there ;-)

···

Decay in Blue, Green and Orange

Somewhere deep inside a long abandoned psychiatric institute. I just love peeling paint and sunlit windows...

···

Glasshouse Pool

Who would build a pool in a glasshouse? In summer it will be extremely hot and in winter very cold and impossible to heat with all that glass. Maybe that's why it hasn't been used in decades.

···

Bathroom Door

Why not enter that sun-drenched bathroom through this friendly blue door to freshen up a little?

···

Warped Nightmare with Blue Ceiling

Long past grandness of an abandoned German Ballhaus warped into a nightmarish panorama . This was only the foyer, you should have seen the Grand Hall ...

···

The Grand Hall

Nobody's having a ball anymore at the abandoned Ballhaus Grünau in East Berlin

···

Sunset in the Green Hallway

Warm sunlight coming in from the left and blue light entering from the shadow side on the right created a magic feel to the already eerie atmosphere in this abandoned hospital.
