But only for a while. The major reconstruction work which is going on at the moment will reshape the the most central area of Wuppertal. The best thing is: No historic buildings have to be sacrifeced (since they are already gone).
Here we see a new underground parking and a bus terminal in the making - right beneath the railroad tracks.
Construction works of the future Thomson East Coast Line at the existing Outram Park MRT Interchange.
There are two important crosses in the area and this is by far the older of the two. This cross dates from the 12th century and is also reputed to be dedicated to St Brigid.
ConstructionWork began on the project in 1994 and cost £1 million. Most of the project funding was provided by the National Lottery.
Due to its exposed location, the sculpture was built to withstand winds of over 100 mph (160 km/h). Thus, 600 tonnes of concrete were used to create foundations which anchor the sculpture to rock 70ft (20m) below.
The sculpture was built at Hartlepool Steel Fabrications Ltd. using Corten weather resistant steel. It was made in three parts—with the body weighing 100 tonnes and two wings weighing 50 tonnes each—then brought to its site by road. It took seven hours for the body to be transported from its construction site in Hartlepool, up the A19 road to the site.
Construction work on the Angel was finished on 16 February 1998. It aroused some controversy in British newspapers, at first, while local councillor, Martin Callanan, was especially strong in his opposition. It is now considered by some as a landmark for the Northeast of England[4][5] and has been listed by one organisation as an "Icon of England".
The sculpture was decorated in 1998 by fans of the Newcastle United football team who paid tribute to local hero Alan Shearer by putting a £1,000 team shirt over the Angel, complete with Shearer's name and famous number 9. The shirt stayed up for 20 minutes until the police removed it.
The sculpture is known locally as the "Gateshead Flasher", because of its location and appearance.
Demolition works on a former railway station in St.Petersburg. Razmax team has managed this redevelopment project in 2012 with a gentle care for historical buildings situated on a demolition site. Federal Group of Engineering Companies - RAZMAX is a trusted contractor for demolition, abatement and redevelopment works from Russia.
Hotel "Rutenbecker Hof" (along with some other buildings) in the process of demolition. Wuppertal's famous suspension monorail had to reduce it's speed drastically when passing the site.
The early 20th century structures have to make way for a new supermarket is going to be built. I photographed this series with a 40 years old Nikon EL camera. This shot was made with a Nikkor-Q Auto 135mm f/3.5 (pre-AI) lens.

Here is a nice picture of our #Liebherr944 on a demolition site in Kirovsk. Razmax group is an experienced contractor for redevelopment projects in the far north. Demolition of an old phosphate rock factory facilities is a part of production renovation project for one of the worlds biggest phosphorus manufacturer - PHOSAGRO.
As you can see from my photographs work has resumed on the multi-million Greystones harbour and marina development project, with the first of more than 350 new homes expected to be offered for sale by April 2016. Because of the weather I did not photograph the new houses. The project has already seen the old Victorian era harbour replaced by a new structure with south and north piers, a large marina and ongoing work on five new clubhouses for sea scouts, divers, sailors, rowers and anglers. Also included in the project is a coastguard station, a new town square, a 16-acre public park, a new beach and marine-related shops and leisure facilities. It should be interesting to see if the ‘Public Areas’ are truly public and if the remain so for more than a year or two … I say this because there are many signs indicating that Fishing, Swimming or Jumping was not allowed. I will visit again later in the year, assuming that the weather improves.
Buchmann is one of the big bakeries in Zurich, and there was a wonderful smell of bread baking in the air.

What we see here is the basement of the former tourist information.

Construction works of the pedestrian bridge linking the Merlion Park to the middle of the Esplanade Bridge and the Esplanade are in progress. The pedestrian bridge is 6m wide, 220m long and curved is scheduled to be completed in 2015.
So, I worked for a contracting company for about a year. Here are some shots from the one time I broke out the camera on the job. I really enjoyed learning new things and getting to know these folks.
I am always pleasantly surprised whenever I get a roll of Acros back. I'm at a loss as to why I don't just always have the stuff on me at all times. Love the stuff!
When it comes to your town, tell your liberal friends there's another free ride in front of the grocercy store they are entitled to enjoy.

In the background we see one of the oldest surviving railway buildings in Germany. It was erected in 1875 by the privately owned railroad company "Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn". When the Prussian governement nationalized the railroads they took over this structure. In the 1920s it was handed over to the Deutsche Reichsbahn, and after WW II it was operated by the Deutsche Bundesbahn (which closed it in 1974). Today it is privately owned again. Most of the space is out of use. There are concepts for a new utilization.

Tempelhofer Freiheit, Berlin Januar 2014
Most buildings of the former silk weaving mill were from second half of the 19th century. The company who owned them went out of business in 1974. After that the structure saw multiple uses. For several years they hosted an ice skating rink which was said to be one of the largest indoor rinks in Europe. There was also a dancing school, restaurants and shops in the basement. Three times the site was set on fire, non if these incidents really destroyed the buildings. Only recently a developper demolished them. First he announced to save at least the front but later he tore it down. Again a piece of industrial heritage is gone.
Today we publish an extraordinary pic of our #Liebherr944 doing some massive soilwork on site back in 2016. The special type of creative optics was used to make this shot. #Lensbaby is a nice choice to add some magic glitter on an industrial photo to give it a stunning look.

Демонтаж дымовых труб на территории бывшего завода Вагонмаш в Московском районе Санкт-Петербурга, осуществленный специалистами ФГИК "Размах" в 2013 году. За время работ на участке в 12 га было получено 198,1 тыс м3 отходов в твердом теле, а результатом редевелопмента промышленной зоны стало строительство многоэтажного жилого комплекса от ГК «Эталон ЛенСпецСМУ».
Vilnius is one of the two European Capitals of Culture this year! However, my pictures are from the last two years before and give an idea of the work that has been done to prepare the city for this year long event. By the way, no massive interventions like in Liverpool have been inflicted on Vilnius, because the city did not invest in a culture-led regeneration, but in its image as a European city in the European Union. So, all theatres were renovated and streets cleaned up etc. Not all of the renovation and conservation might be what I would have liked to see (some streets now look like any German street due to the material that was used for the renovation), but the spirit of this ECoC seems to match more the idea of such a year. So, I am looking forward to see what happens in Vilnius this year!
Oh, the other ECoC is Linz in Austria. Unfortuantely I do not know this city yet. It might be a good year to change this!

At the time that I am writing this (mid-July 2010) the world famous Wuppertal suspension monorail is out of service. This is due to major reconstruction work most of which has already been finished. But there are some segments of the line which are still awating complete replacement of the trestles and tracks. During the summer holidays of 2010 a very prominent part of the line is being replaced: It is the long curve which leads the trains from the river Wupper into the streets. Happily I'm living within walking distance from the construction site so that I can have a look at what is going on every day.
