This house, frozen in time, tells an unforgettable story of resilience, love, and devotion. Arthur, born during the First World War, lived through the horrors of the Second World War and eventually embraced life under the socialist regime of the GDR in Eastern Germany. As a devoted social officer at a local factory, Arthur embodied the ideals of the new order. He married a kind-hearted woman, and together, they raised their daughter, Elvïra, in this charming home—a perfect picture of the ideal socialist family. But tragedy struck early. Arthur’s wife passed away when Elvïra was young, leaving the father and daughter to navigate life’s challenges together. Despite their hardships, they built a life filled with love, resilience, and unshakable devotion. Arthur lived to the remarkable age of 90, and locals still share stories of the bond between him and his daughter. The house itself holds a rich history. Built in 1885 by Arthur's father, this beautiful Fachwerk home, or half-timbered house, represents a vanishing architectural style that defined the region for centuries. While many such homes fell into neglect under the GDR's focus on modernist ideals, this house stood as a testament to the family’s enduring spirit and connection to their heritage. Now abandoned, the home remains a poignant reminder of a bygone era. Occasionally, Elvïra, now elderly herself, visits the house, walking its halls and reliving the bittersweet memories of a life well-lived. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOCIALS: TikTok ► https://www.tiktok.com/@brosofdecay Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/brosofdecay/ Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/Brothersofdecay/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Support us: Merch ► https://www.brosofdecay.com Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/brosofdecay Paypal ► https://paypal.me/lesleyhouben
