Hi Dirk,
nobody wants to see this 
This can only happen in Nordrhein-Westfalen. 
This is a real Police bike:

...from times everything was made of wood and we had a 'Wehrmacht™'
Nowadays it looks like this (at least hereabouts):
The image of Germany you promote -esp. East- is kind of "romantic", Dirk. Of course there are such wrecked mansions like those you show (as an exception), but mostly the folks here live in modern circumstances. Such as recent sanitary facilities and electric current (AC 220V). When you take a look in the big cities (Dresden, e.g.) they had a lavish city-development to make us 'old' federal states become green with envy.
take care, Stefan
