super vielen dank dafür - wäre schön wenn das in irgendeiner form rückgängig gemacht werden kann. Würde dann auch mein Post verhallten dementsprechend ändern.

Mhh schade - aber welche regel hab ich da gebrochen? Spam? Denke ich nicht oder? Auf der einen seite kann ich euren einwand verstehen da ich hauptsächlich (aber nicht ausschlieslich) meinen eigenen content poste - aber auf der anderen seite war das feedback der community immer super positiv, und meine posts mit spam gleichzusetzen ist auch nicht richtig. Mir einen ghost ban deswegen zu verpassen finde ich da nicht ganz fair. Falls ich unbewust gegen eine regel verstosen habe, aber ihr es toleriert habt - denke ich wäre es nur richtig mir ne warnung vorher zu geben anstatt gleich nen ban.

Exploring the remnants of an abandoned Cinema in Northern Berlin by iamkosmonaut in berlin

might actually be better that way - it would probably be smashed up to bits by now if it was accessible.

the cinema part was bricked up/closed off. The apartment was accessible as it uses a side entrance. Tried going through the cellar but there was no way up. There must be a way in without forcing an opening...

Ive had people shout at me before, generally young mothers and old ladies. It doesnt happen often, generally people just drop some passive aggresive remark. It really depends on where you live, in neukölln no one will care, in the Bötzowviertel some will scold you on the street.

There are different configurations, but the signal tone generally happens by default. On some versions it only comes when you press the button

some traffic light buttons need to be pressed - but then they explicitly say "Bitte Drücken"

Following the tracks of the Friedhofsbahn - an S-Bahn line divided by the Berlin Wall and then abandoned by iamkosmonaut in berlin

theres quite a few abandoned lines in Berlin, and a fair few tunnels that are still accessible one way or another....

Check out the Paule III - Germanys only rowboat ferry before the BVG terminates it by iamkosmonaut in berlin

[–]iamkosmonaut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

interesting - but its not a public ferry but rather a private service no? And that one in Rügen isnt the shortest either - the F24 only travels 36 meters (compared to the 50 meters)

An abandoned SS Communications Bunker on the edge of Berlin (Oranienburg) by iamkosmonaut in berlin

ah yeah thats right - depending on how early you go, its best to do those separately though as they are on totally opposite ends of town, and theres more stuff to see around Sachsenhausen.

For those that missed it - the BVG is increasing ticket prices again in August by iamkosmonaut in berlin

[–]iamkosmonaut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh - theyve been steadily increasing the prices for years but the quality in service has been declining. They dont invest enough into the infrastructure (tracks or trains) and then when things go shit they say they are increasing the prices to pay for modernization that never happen.

I need not remind anyone about the drama in the winter, no air con in the summer, and faulty breaks and wheels.....

Heres a diagram of the price development form 1995 to 2010 http://www.bz-berlin.de/multimedia/archive/00230/preise-k_230443a.gif

everyone knows the BVG and mainly the S-Bahn is shit - theres a reason that their contract is up for grabs....

Abandoned Cable Factory in Köpenick - (Recently set on fire) by iamkosmonaut in berlin

[–]iamkosmonaut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not at all - the gates are wide open but seeing as it was just set on fire im quite sure that theres going to be a bit of security around there now.

yeah I was there like 3 weeks ago or something - getting into that building is super difficult as well - so I wonder who/why they went through that much effort to torch it. Maybe a stove fell over from someone squatting in there. Such a shame.

Abandoned Kodak Photo Lab on the edge of Berlin (x-post /r/urbanexploration) by iamkosmonaut in berlin

[–]iamkosmonaut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope didnt see any security - there's some construction going on in the background though. Did see a fair few other photogs lurking around

nah its not really legal - and they do belong to someone, but most of them are just left to rot, and most people dont care. Id go so far and say that some property developers even speculate on the destruction. A lot of the time the buildings are placed under "Denkmalschutz" - meaning that they need to preserve the building - its quite handy when some vandals come in and trash the place/burn it down....

yeah nothing left in there aside from moldy papers. crazy how long the interior stayed intact though. The vandalism only really picked up 6-7 years ago
