Reading "Lost Places"

Adventure is sometimes closer than it seems: In Saxony-Anhalt, there are numerous places that have long disappeared from the everyday perspective window – yet full of history and secrets, they remain alive. Decaying industrial buildings, abandoned recreational sites, deserted hotels, or relics from the GDR era tell stories of past epochs and unfold a special, often eerie charm. Oliver Hübner has discovered these places for the travel guide "Lost & Dark Places Saxony-Anhalt" and captured them in atmospheric texts and images. The stories connect historical backgrounds with cultural-historical contexts – sometimes serious, sometimes with a wink, always exciting. In a accompanying photo presentation, Hübner showcases the mysterious side of Saxony-Anhalt and reads selected passages from the current book, focusing on the Altmark region.
