  • No hate, just some things to clarify the nerdy sounding post of mine:

    1. I was born in that city. There is no way you won’t memorize that shape living there more than a year.

    2. I had to look up some facts and thought it would be neet to post them here as there is no english wiki page about that building - a landmark of Wolfsburg and a cultural heritage, no matter how ugly it is.

    3. No diagnose yet - but also never bothered to test it.

    Also, as it is a spectrum: isn’t everybody on it?


  • This building is a CHP plant (generating heat / district heating for the factory and the city). There have been some overhauls 2009 and 2021 (due to converting it to a combined-cycle power plant). Half of this building (southern part, first two chimneys) is nowadays an event location.

    As to what happened to the second tower:

    From 2009, the chimneys were partially renewed. Part of the southern chimneys were demolished and replaced by clinker in the same colour. I guess this picture was taken during that time.
