Sometimes certain wings or rooms are not used for a few years and not maintained, which wind up looking totally different. An open window or a water leak could deteriorate a room much faster than others as well.

It was blurred out for the location name.

Thanks Joseph... I have traveled to East and West Germany this summer and plan to visit again once I have funds. I have many photos of really great places waiting to get put online from there, as well as other nearby countries.
