Google Lens showed this as Stadtbad Steglitz.

So that’s why I immediately recognised the building. I used to go there when I was a kid, before it closed.
That’s crazy
I always wonder how these places remain abandoned. If I found a derelict mansion in the woods I’d have myself a new clubhouse. Asbestos be damned.
Having a large house will give you a large bill for power, water, heating, cleaning and repairs, especially if it comes with a large pool. And you probably need a gardener or a lot of free time to prevent the property from overgrowing with weeds and trees.
It’s like supercars. It’s not the initial cost that gets you, but the running costs.
Step tape in a private mansion? Do we know where this is? I have a feeling it was turned into a public space (even if just tours) and then left. I’d love to know more
Edit; I went down a slight rabbit hole trying to figure out where this was taken. Looking up the artist shows quite a few articles on his pictures. They all just boil down to the same pictures, Christian grew up in East Germany before the walls fell (so plenty of abandonporn there), and mainly SEO dump for a few paragraphs. All the links sourced are broken/unclaimed as it looks like he deleted his Instagram. In the hard quoted sections they list Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, and Poland.
I don’t know if I’m bored enough yet to try and look up archives haha
It’s in the middle of Berlin.

Thank you so much for sharing!! My German is shit so I ran it through translate haha. Seems to be a turn of the century publics use building from the get go, and a possible renovation project these last few years.
I live in an abandoned mansion 🎶
