Meine persönliche Herausforderung für 2022 - ich werd's versuchen - und mein Bestes geben…
My latest Lego creation, the Kraft Building. My Husband said it looked like his old elementary school. Unfortunately I could not find any pictures online of Kraft Elementary to see the similarities. This Lego creation was shown at Michigan Brickworld last September. I'm a member of the Michigan Lug Group.
Happy Macro Monday
This week's theme: Brand and Logos
Bet you haven't seen this brand in awhile. Powr Kraft is the name Montgomery Ward Co. used for their tools. I bought my first set of tools from them about 52 years ago when I was still in the Air Force.

The photo shows Prora, or Seebad Prora, the world's longest building complex; 4,5 km.
It houses the world's longest hostel, but it is an unfinished holiday resort built in 1936–1939. It is located on the bay of Prorer Wiek on the German island of Rügen on the Baltic Sea.
Robert Ley, leader of the leisure organization ”Kraft durch Freude”, (KdF), ”Strength through Joy”, had with the approval of Adolf Hitler decided that a holiday facility would be built here.
The KdF was a sub-organization of the Nazi-led trade union movement "Deutsche Arbeitsfront" and the purpose of Prora was to be able to offer a large proportion of German citizens a cheap holiday by the sea.
The facility was planned for 10,000 rooms and a capacity of 20,000 guests. Since all guests would be allowed to stay for ten days, this building alone would be able to handle between 400,000 and 500,000 visitors annually.
If you add the KdF ships that would dock at Prora, it was about at least double the number of holidaymakers annually, according to what was planned.
Every room on Prora would have a sea view, hence the long elongated body of the house.
Prora was built 150 meters from the beach on six floors and with a length of 4.5 kilometers, the total length of which was interrupted in the middle of a large party place.
The large restaurant and party venue was never started, but was planned for a capacity of 20,000 seated guests.
In April 1938, the construction of the house itself began with load-bearing parts in concrete, but the work was interrupted in connection with the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
During the war, Prora functioned as a field hospital and at the end of the war as a facility for the Red Army.
Part of the huge Prora building was completed by the East German regime, some stand as ruins and some were blown up, but the latter was difficult as the concrete foundations were too strong. During the East German era, the building continued to be used for military purposes, so the area was not allowed to be visited by foreign visitors.
The Joint German Army took over the area in 1990 and moved out in 1992. Since 1993, the area has been open to the public. In part of the building there is today a museum and shops, restaurants etc.
The complex is currently being renovated and large parts are already ready as apartments.
