It looks like after the bombing or earthquake! Definitely not nice to see especially if it's a place full of childhood memories. Let's hope there will not be yet another mall?

Did you manage to get a few photos before demolition began?

Markus,
It seems as we get older so much of our past becomes changed, and memories remain and if we are lucky we thought to take a photograph of the place, person, thing. I have memories of places of places like cafes that I visited as a young bloke that are now gone. Some of our seashore has changed for the worse I think. Your photo I can relate to but I'm sure the image evoke feelings you have for the place.

Perhaps another family member has an image of when you were younger?

Hi Markus,
My grandmother still lives in a quarter from Duisburg that looks so similar than this... I visit her maybe once every two or three years, but when I saw this backyard gardens... very vivid childhood memories came to me...and later, when I was older, sitting with my Oma in the kitchen, listening to the stories only she wanted to tell. I almost heard the bells from the icecream van... thanks for sharing.
