May 2011: It was one of those typical situations.
We were in this small city to visit an abandoned brewery and a ruinous power plant, and on the way to the first stop the old letters of a closed cinema were visible on the facade of a large old (and empty) building. The gate to the backyard were open, so we decided to do a spontaneous stop here.
On the way through the backyard full of trash, wild-grown trees and debris we found the stairs up the the projector room:
We were a little bit disappointed first, because there were no projectors at all. But a quick look through the hatch into the auditorium stunned us. The seats were still inside, even the screen and the curtain. And we had luck, after a little bit of searching in the backyard, we found an open door.
And then, as we entered the Foyer, we discovered the most amazing thing. Electricity! Just for fun I clicked the switch, and it became light.
So... just out of curiosity... I searched for the light controls for the cinema hall. Slowly I faded in the lights, and the whole auditorium became visible. No need for the flashlights anymore.
Oh, in case you forgot to buy your urbex ticket, you can do it here:
Don't hate me because I did HDRs The light wasn't really good inside there.
