Trip to Leipzig

So we took the train to Leipzig yesterday to go see The Last Match at last. But the bookstore/gallery MZIN had closed early, maybe because the attendants wanted to see the football game. :o( Probably they don’t get a lot of visitors anyway.

All the little drawings!

Our plan B was to explore an abandoned printing house in central Leipzig. Doing it during the Germany vs. Argentina game was really perfect timing …

Some nice Stalinist Classicist buildings on Mühlenstraße.

Other abandoned industrial buildings.

Two lobstrosities guard the entrance to the abandoned printing house. Ilan claimed he couldn’t fit himself through the windows in the front door, so we looked for another entrance, and found one.

Peeling ceilings and empty halls.

Here is Ilan’s little report, too.
