Report - SKET Madgeburg - Germany - February 2019

[aitakaitov]

This was one of the stops on our trip to Germany in 2019. I believe there was a bit more to explore, but we were short on time, so we went through it quickly. There is also a RAW (train repair shop) site nearby, but for some reason, there was a ton of cops there, so we bailed on that one. SKET used to be a state-owned company in GDR and after the fall of the Soviet Union, the company was privatized again and still exists. I don't know specifically what we've visited, but it reminded me of train repair halls without rails. The ceiling windows and peeling paint made the place nice to photograph, but in the end, it's just empty halls. Still nice though.

Cool. Did you find Germany difficult to explore? Did they call the police on you if you were caught?

I never got caught in Germany, but I'm inclined to believe that it's the same as everywhere else in the EU. Here in the Czech Republic, cops are in general nice if you don't do anything dumb.

Just tell them we won the war we can do what we bloody well like in their derelict buildings

Oh you're from the Czech republic cool. Did some of my best urbex there. And the Ghost church and prague and prague zoo, all amazing. Wish we'd spent more time there.
