Tips

Baldus Barova ⏫

August 26, 2022

The Hambach opencast mine almost meant the end for the small village of Morschenich. By 2024, the place should be dredged. After the end of lignite, there is now a chance for a new future. Only a handful of Alt-Morschenichers still live in the town, which had around 600 inhabitants in the best of times. But most of the houses in Alt-Morschenich have been empty for years and are rotting from the inside out, many have damage from decay or attempted break-ins. Gardens are overgrown, blackberries overgrow house terraces. End time mood wherever you look.
