A mill made of concrete Episode 1

In Fürstenberg/Havel, right on the banks of Lake Röblinsee, there is a huge industrial ruin. Built in 1912 as the Behrn Mill, it was once one of the largest flour producers in northern Germany. In 1957, the mill became a feed mixing plant that supplied animal feed for industrial agriculture in the GDR. The buildings have been empty since they were closed down in 1992. The perfect place for street artist Tobo and his graffiti art.
