Kellergeister is not beer, its kind of white sparkling wine.

I drink it right now ;)

Greetings from Germany

What is that little thing under the window. Zombie doggie door?

Lots of corridors with interior windows in these places. Must have been for the sun to shine through to the rooms. I thought fancy barn right away as well. Horses love sticking their heads out to see their other horse buddies.

Yup, I can see the holes or lumps or whatever where the rails had attache. Probably metal rails on this spiral. I saw the black bricks just ending on one side as well. They seemed to have a lot of blocked up areas in this place.

I know. I have the same problem with the no rails. I have not seen anchor points in any of the stair shots. very strange.

What is up with that crappy barn door in this lovely frame work?

There are holes in the front wall too. Peep holes? Naw, looks like there used to be wires or something. Sooooo, the "soothing" green was used in almost all government buildings as well. Did they need to sooth the workers. Perhaps they should start painting the post offices green again.

The missing stair rails must have been just rails floating in mid air. I cannot see any evidence of pilasters to hold the rails. The stairs do seem rather narrow and shallow. Remember; people were smaller in those days. My kitchen counters are only 30 inches off the floor. I have to stoop to wash dishes. I am the dishwasher. Yes, I have an old crumbly house.

Flat boring windows come with standardization of the construction industry. One can still order fancy windows if one has the money. All of the "matching" windows in my house were different sizes. They only varied about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. But still different. The glass was very thin and wavy. I had to replace them due to high heat bills. I miss the old blurry glass.

I have nightmares about climbing stairways with doors at the top that swing open and hit me and knock me back down the stairs. This door looks like the type that would do that to me. Bad door.

looks as though the room was once green under that yellow paint

There seems to be a rised platform at one end, making it either one of three things, An operation room, a theater if some sort, or some kind of recreational room

Perhaps this was a workers break room, where they could smoke or eat and enjoy the air and not erritate patients, or a workers entrance entrance

I am suprised that nobody has really commented on how new and intact this hallway is, it feels as though a nurse or patient could walk out of anyone of those rooms on a second. I also wounder at what the small door on the left side of the hall was used for

Seeing as how the black brick trim suddenly stops at one side and reappears through the partually made hole, i want to say that the wall was constructed over a door-eather leading to some kind of room or another ward
