For #TrainTrackTuesday, I've got the #Handelshafen, "commerce port", in #Magdeburg again. I posted a close-up of the #building's fire escape in the background last week. You can explore some old trains and ships, but the #trainTracks are no longer in use. The area is not completely dead though, there are offices and a cool beach café/bar (with real sand!) on the other side of the port, with the Elbe river very close too.

#FotoVorschlag: #Korrosion // #Corrosion

Zur Einstimmung auf den #FensterFreitag gibt's noch einen Nachschlag aus dem #Handelshafen in #Magdeburg. Er wurde 1893 eröffnet und war das größte Umschlagunternehmen an der Mittelelbe. Heute ist er Freiluftmuseum, Veranstaltungsgelände und Denkfabrik. Einige der riesigen #Speicher werden gerade zu Wohnhäusern umgebaut (dieser hier aber nicht). // To ease into that #WindowFriday feeling, here's another submission. This #building is part of the Handelshafen, "commerce port", in Magdeburg. It was opened in 1893 as the largest cargo handling business in the Middle Elbe region. Today, the area is part museum, part venue, and part business location. Some of the tall #warehouses are being turned into apartment buildings (not this one though).

Like the largely preserved town wall of the old town centre of Kaster (Bedburg/Rhein-Erft district), the Owl Tower, the core of which dates back to 1370 (with later additions such as the baroque dome), is made of bricks. In general, most of the older houses in this lowland region are built with bricks.

Rolling out the green carpet for #Doorsday! 🚪

On Sunday, I took my bike and explored some districts in the south of #Magdeburg. In #Westerhüsen, I found some #urbanDecay, but also rural vibes, understated street art, colourful houses, and a lot of nature. This #door caught my eye immediately. I don't know what the #building used to be – maybe a #post office, with the #postBox and yellow details?

... Thursday, I don't care about you, it's #Doorsday I'm in love! 😍

Another local beauty, this time the #Brick #Gothic castle #church of #Wolmirstedt, built in 1480. Apparently the most southern example of northern #BrickGothic, huh. It's all humble red bricks and a plain door, but when you look up - wow!
