Report - Chocolatier - Germany - February 2020

[ForgottenBuildings]

History:
This place where you are looking at right now, was an old chocolate works, where they made all kinds of sweets on a very small and traditional scale. In 1992 this place closed down due to its small scale it wasn't efficient anymore to keep it open.

Today after 28 years of decay this factory is in really rough shape. Nevertheless it still was really nice to see, with all the old machinery and other artifacts it was just wonderful to wander around.

Unfortunately I didn't really took a lot of photos this was due to the bad lightning in nearly all of the halls.

Interested in more of the history of this former factory? Then you should really check out my mini-documentary I made on this place. Here I will go more in-depth in the hidden past of the former plant.

Thanks for reading and watching!

I Like the workstations.....any idea what the car on the left is ?

 

[Calamity Jane]

Really nice this. Its appealing in its natural decay state, all the rust & peeling. Those cars are golden too. Nice job

I was thinking Triumph of some sort, but not a car person by any stretch, it was just what crossed my mind.

I thought it might be a Humber but the detail on boot is wrong.
I’m guessing 60’s by its roundness

Its an old Opel from the end of the 50s/ begin 60s. Not sure about the model though.

 

[mockney reject]

it looks like an Opel Rekord but I'm not 100%

 

[pirate]

It’s an Opel kapitan

 

[jtza]

Nice one

Yes, the left car is an Opel Kapitän. There are two more of them, buried under a collapsed barn.
I have visited the same location two years ago. You can see the other Opels in Picture #7 to #11.

And another forum member did it in 2016/2017. The barn was only partly collapsed back then.

Thanks for the report and the video, by the way.
I can understand that you don't name the place or the company name (I guess you did that intentionally). Too many idiots would go there and sooner or later it would be fenced.
