The Martin-Gropius-Bau exhibition hall, next to the Topography of Terror. Originally built in 1881 as a museum of applied arts. It had the misfortune of being next to the nerve center of Nazi terror, and was severely damaged during the final weeks of the war. Now it is a famous exhibition hall for contemporary art.
I took this picture because of the pockmarks on the lower part of the wall. Someone there told me it was from firing squad executions. Another claimed it was from street battles in the final weeks of the war. I have yet to confirm either.

Van Nelle Factory, Rotterdam The Netherlands – Architects: Brinkman and Van der Vlugt – masterplan 1914 – 1923; design 1923 – 1925; execution 1925 - 1931
The Van Nelle Factory is one of the highlights of the Modern Movement in the Netherlands. The impressive glass building is not only an example of functionalism and rational production, but also improved working conditions for workers in the twentieth century. The restored building is now one of the most important monuments of Rotterdam
The Firm Van Nelle was selling coffee, tea, tobacco and snuff in Rotterdam since 1782. The entirely new complex consists of the actual factory building, an office building, a warehouse, expedition and storage depots along the canal, a boiler house and several workshops. A cafeteria and sports fields were also to be found in the area. The factory building consists of three elongated in height sloping parts separated by stairwells. Tobacco has eight, coffee five and tea factory three floors. The staircases house the washing and changing facilities, toilets and lifts, separated for men and women. This allowed for continues factory floors and easily adjustable layouts. By using a concrete frame the non-load bearing facades could be made almost entirely of glass with only thin steel frames. Light and air could penetrate deep into the building. The expedition and storage strip along the water is connected to the main building by overhead conveyor bridges. Another sky bridge connects the plant to the office at the entrance of the complex. The office consists of a strip with two layers of offices and a large open space with glass walls and glass meeting rooms. The office follows the curve in the road. During construction, a tea room on the roof of the tobacco factory was added.
In 1942, low-rise warehouses designed by Brinkman and Van den Broek were realized. In 1974 at the back of the building, a new distribution centre was built. In 1951 other products such as pudding and chewing gum made their entrance. After a takeover by the American Standard Brands in 1989, Van Nelle competitor Sara Lee / Douwe Egberts, sold the complex in 1995, so it could finally get the status of national monument. Using the name Van Nelle Design Factory, the complex started a new life. The factory complex was restored by Wessel de Jonge and Claessens Erdmann. The transparency of the factory floor was maintained as much as possible by the new climate walls on the inside. The new inner facades are made of aluminium and therefore clearly identifiable as new elements. On the floors office spaces of various sizes have been realized for the creative sector. The ground floor is used for exhibitions and conferences. The adjacent buildings have been restored and are used by a number of architectural firms.
Find the amazing and high-performing warehouse robots that can work more efficiently than humans without causing any trouble and save you a lot of resources and money.
The automated solutions are high in demand today. When you are going to adopt such solutions, it is better to go with warehouse execution software and warehouse robots to drive better efficiency, productivity, and safety in the centers.

Consecration site (former execution chamber)
Memorial plaques with names of 536 executed
The following names of the on the plaques under the heading "They died for freedom of Austria" cited victims - ident or corrected - are complemented with date of birth, occupation, date of execution and grave address. These indicates, unless stated otherwise, row and grave in the shaft graves complex of group 40 of the Vienna Central Cemetery. The vast majority of the executed were convicted "for preparing a high treason". For those who have been convicted of another offense, this one is indicated.
The data are based on the following sources:
The guillotined. List of names by the guillotine in Vienna Regional Court of the Nazi executioners murdered Edit.: Communist Party of Austria, Vienna undated.
Sentenced to death. Edit.: Federal Association of Austrian Resistance Fighters and Victims of Fascism (Concentration Camp Association), Vienna undated.
List of people executed, Vienna undated (presumably created by Regional Court Vienna and 1964 under the archive signing DOeW 1512 recorded).
Database of Municipal Department 43 - Urban cemeteries.
The Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance intends to issue a documentation that provides information on the Regional Court of Vienna under Nazi rule, includes biographies of those executed and depicts the origin of the consecration site.
Weihestätte (ehemaliger Hinrichtungsraum)
Gedenktafeln mit Namen von 536 Hingerichteten
Die folgenden Namen der auf den Tafeln unter dem Titel „Sie starben für Österreichs Freiheit“ angeführten Opfer — ident bzw. richtiggestellt — sind ergänzt mit Geburtsdatum, Beruf, Datum der Hinrichtung und Grabadresse. Diese gibt, wenn nicht anders ausgewiesen, Reihe und Grab in der Schachtgräberanlage der Gruppe 40 des Wiener Zentralfriedhofes an. Die überwiegende Mehrzahl der Hingerichteten wurde wegen „Vorbereitung zum Hochverrat“ verurteilt. Bei jenen, die wegen eines anderen Delikts verurteilt wurden, ist dieses angegeben.
Die Daten stützen sich auf folgende Quellen:
Die Guillotinierten. Namensliste der durch das Fallbeil im Wiener Landesgericht durch die Nazihenker Ermordeten. Hrsg.: Kommunistische Partei Österreichs, Wien o. J.
Zum Tode verurteilt. Hrsg.: Bundesverband Österreichischer Widerstandskämpfer und Opfer des Faschismus (KZ-Verband), Wien o. J.
Liste der Hingerichteten, Wien o. J. (erstellt vermutlich vom LG Wien und 1964 unter der Archiv-Signatur DÖW 1512 aufgenommen).
Datenbank der Magistratsabteilung 43 – Städtische Friedhöfe.
Das Dokumentationsarchiv des österreichischen Widerstandes beabsichtigt, eine Dokumentation herauszugeben, die über das Landesgericht Wien unter der NS-Herrschaft informiert, Kurzbiographien der Hingerichteten beinhaltet und die Entstehung der Weihestätte darstellt.

Kilmainham Gaol; Dublin, Ireland
Execution site of James Connolly. Mr. Connolly, sentenced to death, was already suffering tremendously from wounds due to fighting doctors gave him only a day or two to survive. Regardless of this, he was taken to Kilmainham Gaol by ambulance, brought in on a stretcher, tied to a chair as he was too weak to stand on his own, and was executed by firing squad. His death caused much uproar and controversy.
The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Cordonnerie Hirsch of 122, Boulevard Voltaire, Paris. Interestingly, 'cordonnerie' is French for shoe repairer.
The card was posted in France using a 10c. stamp on Sunday the 31st. December 1911 to:
Monsieur et Madame W. Wetter,
67, Grafton Way,
Fitzroy Square,
Londres,
Angleterre.
The message on the divided back was as follows:
"Dear Friends,
31/12/11.
Thanks for card and your
wishes. We hope you have
spent a jolly time at No. 74
Ch. St. and elsewhere, and
now wish everything you
would like for 1912, your
health especially.
Please remember us to all
kind friends, not forgetting
your boss.
Sincerely yours,
J. Kelsie."
A New Calendar in China
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 31st. December 1911, China's National Assembly voted to begin using the "Western calendar" to replace the traditional Chinese lunar calendar used by the Emperor.
Full use was to begin on the 1st. January 1912, which was declared as the "The first day of the first month of the first year of the Republic of China." It was also the 13th. day of 11th. month of the 4,609th. year of the traditional calendar.
Multiple Executions in Tabriz
Also on that day, Russian troops, occupying the Persian city of Tabriz, carried out the execution of Shiite Muslim cleric Mirza Ali Aqa Tabrizi.
After the conclusion of the Tabriz Siege by Russian forces, a conflict between the Russian forces and the revolutionaries broke out on the 21st. December 1911.
The Russians insisted that Mirza should sign a letter confirming the responsibility of revolutionaries in starting the conflict. He refused, and Russians hanged him. Mirza was 50 years of age when he died.
Mirza, who was born on the 19th. January 1861 in Tabriz, Iran, saw democratic freedom and liberty as God's special gift. He said:
"This freedom is like that which the
benevolent creator offered to the
sons of Israel to free them from
Pharaoh."
He saw freedom of the press and of personal expression as the instruments for obeying the Quranic command of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil.
12 other Iranian nationalists were also executed on the same day by hanging, in retaliation for their opposition to the Russian invasion.
The Russians continued to kill the constitutional revolutionaries of Tabriz and their relatives en masse, and many civilians of Tabriz as well. The total number of executions is estimated to have been about 1,200.
Missouri State Penitentiary, Jefferson City Missouri. May 27th 2016.
The small building that houses the Missouri gas chamber was built in 1937. The airtight chamber was first installed on the concrete slab and the building was then built around it. Some of the construction was performed by convicts and the stone used was quarried by convicts from the prison quarry. Ironically, one of the the convicts executed here (Robert West) had helped construct this building during an earlier incarceration.
The information that you find online states that the building has two rooms. I don't know when this changed, but that is no longer correct. There are now three entrances to the building. Two in the front and one on the side. One of the front entrances leads to a room that has the door to the gas chamber and there is a room off to the side of that where the various chemicals and/or drugs were prepared. The other door on the front leads to a room with bleacher seats and viewing windows that was for family members of the victims' who wished to view the execution. The door on the side leads to a room that also has a viewing window and was for members of the convict's family.
Over the years forty people were executed here. 39 men and one woman. The first 39 were killed using hydrogen cyanide gas. John Brown was the first recipient in 1938 and in 1965 Llyod L. Anderson was the last. In 1989 George Mercer was executed here using lethal injection.
After an execution using hydrogen cyanide, the gas was vented to the outside through a tall pipe coming out of the roof of the building. Before this would be done, nearby guard towers had to be evacuated and precautions also had to be taken in the neighborhoods near the prison.
Farewell, loved ones, to die is to rest.

(from "Mi Último Adiós", Spanish for "My Last Farewell" - a poem written by Jose Rizal on the eve of his execution.
It marks the place of execution of a Covenanter who was charged with having been engaged in the battle of Bothwell Bridge.
Joel drinking a Rum for Captain Kidd at Execution dock. there is evidence that Kidd acted only as a privateer and he was unfairly hung on May 23, 1701.
Kidd's Whig backers were embarrassed by his trial. Far from rewarding his loyalty, they participated in the effort to convict him by depriving him of the money and information which might have provided him with some legal defense. In particular, the two sets of French passes he had kept were missing at his trial. These passes (and others dated 1700) resurfaced in the early twentieth century, misfiled with other government papers in a London building.

Execution Dock was used as a hanging site for over 400 years, and acted as visible warning and deterrent to other seafarers who would pass through the area.
The executioners would not cut down the bodies after hanging but instead the custom was to leave them until at least three tides had flowed over their heads.
The last executions to take place there were in December 1830, where two men who had been charged with piracy met their fate.
Nobody knows the exact location of Execution Dock, but it is believed to be near the site of the Prospect of Whitby pub, where a noose now hangs from the back to commemorate the dock.

(outlaw torn is adjacent to No Salvation and if my draw distance had been set to further out, you'd see the Cathedral in the background. I couldn't do that though, because then you'd see the huge platforms in the sky, where the ballroom is located. I wish those platforms would be set above the maximum draw distance, so photographers aren't bothered by the sight of the sky platforms!)
