The Police Academy

Located in Germany stands the building of a former police academy. The building is old, but very much still intact. The beautiful decay and colors give this place a good recollection of what once was.

“The Police Academy” was a German University of Applied Sciences

The building was built after the second world war. Over the years, the building was used for many kinds of police related training, until it found its final purpose tens of years later.

As of today, the current company no longer uses the old building, and decay is slowly taking over the place. It was a beautiful place with little traces of vandalism. The building houses a theater, two ballrooms, an underground shooting range, a large auditorium and a smaller auditorium.
