Croatian Adria Hotels

Croatian Adria Hotels

During the Croatian War, Dubrovnik and the surrounding area were particularly affected by heavy fighting. The Battle of Dubrovnik began in October 1991 and lasted nine months. The targets of the attacks by the Yugoslav People’s Army were mostly civilians, as there were hardly any military installations in the region. As the region around Dubrovnik lives mainly from tourism, the destruction of many hotels and tourist facilities in and around Dubrovnik was a severe economic blow.
Tourism in southern Croatia has been revived, but many of the hotels are still lying idle and waiting to be repaired or demolished. In 2008, I photographed these idle hotels, where the traces of destruction could still be seen twenty years after the start of the Croatian War.

Halle-Silberhoehe — Wittenberger Strasse

Halle-Silberhoehe

Between 1979 and 1989 Halle-Silberhoehe was built in panel construction as a new living-quarter in the south of Halle (Saale) / Germany, because workers were needed in the closley situated chemical industry. On an area of two square kilometers 15,000 prefabricated flats were built for about 39,000 people.
After 1989 there were a lot of changes on the markets of jobs and housing. High unemployment, social exsolution and vacancy came up. Since the middle of the 1990’s the quarter lost more than the half of its inhabitants. Because of the drastic vacancy, the quarter now will be deconstructed – partly selective, partly in whole areas. On the accrued waste land should be afforested.
I was living in the city of Halle for about one year to document the architecture and the people who were still living there.

Halle-Silberhöhe has been published as book in 2009 by MDV
