Rolling out the green carpet for #Doorsday! 🚪

On Sunday, I took my bike and explored some districts in the south of #Magdeburg. In #Westerhüsen, I found some #urbanDecay, but also rural vibes, understated street art, colourful houses, and a lot of nature. This #door caught my eye immediately. I don't know what the #building used to be – maybe a #post office, with the #postBox and yellow details?

The image shows a brick building. The building has a prominent arched doorway with a weathered wooden door. Yellow handrails lead up to the steps of the door, and a yellow mailbox is attached to the side of the building. Greenery grows around the base of the steps. The building is constructed from red bricks with some black brick detailing. The number '59' is visible above the door.

Here's a little water tower in #Bitterfeld which is just as surprised as I am that my train is running into delays of 90 minutes (and counting). 😱 /sarcasm 🙄

A ground-level, medium shot features a weathered, octagonal brick tower under a cloudy sky. The tower is constructed from yellow-brown bricks and shows signs of age and disrepair, with some missing bricks and areas of crumbling mortar. It has several arched openings, some of which are boarded up or filled with dark vegetation, while others are empty. Small, rectangular windows are also visible higher up the structure.
The top of the tower is crenellated, with unevenly spaced battlements. Graffiti in blue and green is visible on one of the lower sections of the tower. The tower is situated on a patch of green grass and weeds, adjacent to a grey asphalt road in the foreground.
Bare trees with spindly branches stand on either side of the tower. In the background, glimpses of houses and other vegetation are visible under a sky filled with grey and white clouds, hinting at overcast weather conditions.

C’est un détail rigolo de Het Schip, l’ensemble d’habitation École d’Amsterdam emblématique, achevé en 1919 et signé Michel de Klerk : une espèce d’avancée bombée à l’angle Hembrugstraat-Zaanstraat, unique en son genre sur le pâté de maison et plutôt inattendue. Septembre 2019.

Backemoor sexton’s house — A gulf house

The listed sexton’s house next to the church of St. Laurentius and St. Vincentius is a so-called Gulf house. It is a type of farmhouse that appeared there in the 16th and 17th centuries and houses a dwelling house, stable and barn under one roof. The Gulfhaus owes its origins to economic circumstances. The predecessor of the Gulfhaus was the old Frisian farmhouse, which, like the Gulfhaus, was also a stable house.

These small buildings provided farmers with sufficient space, as there was no need to store a large harvest. Grain cultivation was only possible on a few high-lying areas, while the inadequately drained marshes were only suitable for grass and pasture. Later, improved drainage techniques using wind-water mills made it possible to drain fertile low-lying marshland and use it for large-scale grain cultivation. A house with a large capacity was needed to store the growing harvest, which gave rise to the Gulfhaus.

The typical Gulf house consists of a front house, which is the residential wing, and the adjoining stable/barn wing. The fact that the roof is pulled down further at the rear creates side sections so that the barn wing is wider than the residential wing. The center of the stable/barn wing is the »gulf«, a storage area for hay, crops and equipment, which gives this type of house its name.

Here in Backemoor there are a few of these gulf houses scattered around the church. While two are privately owned, the sexton’s house pictured here belongs to the church and is actively used by the congregation.

I particularly loved the view under the mighty old trees. The lush green moss gives it a slightly morbid look, doesn’t it?
In the second picture in particular, you can clearly see the typical architectural style, with the roof of the stable and barn wing pulled down further.
