That's not a development...

#1 Post by stumpjumper » Mon Sep 22, 2008 7:40 pm

4.5 kilometres of six storey building plus meeting halls etc. 10,000 units all overlooking the beach. 90% finished then abandoned in 1939.

How embarrassing. Sorry about the photo. My first attempt at sex wasn't much chop either.

The place is called Prora - worth looking up.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Length matters too. Skyscrapers can be built on their sides.

Very interesting indeed. Nazi architecture is a fascinating subject; a shame that much of it was lost at the close of WWII.

It's a bit sad it wasn't finished, could have been interesting! Is it totally lost to further development now?

No, apparently it's being adapted for the Le Cornu site. Thanks for fixing the pix, Howie.
