          Ah yes, they have to bake the VW at 350 (175c) for two hours until it’s just most in the middle.

            This building is a CHP plant (generating heat / district heating for the factory and the city). There have been some overhauls 2009 and 2021 (due to converting it to a combined-cycle power plant). Half of this building (southern part, first two chimneys) is nowadays an event location.

            As to what happened to the second tower:

            From 2009, the chimneys were partially renewed. Part of the southern chimneys were demolished and replaced by clinker in the same colour. I guess this picture was taken during that time.

                No hate, just some things to clarify the nerdy sounding post of mine:

                1. I was born in that city. There is no way you won’t memorize that shape living there more than a year.

                2. I had to look up some facts and thought it would be neet to post them here as there is no english wiki page about that building - a landmark of Wolfsburg and a cultural heritage, no matter how ugly it is.

                3. No diagnose yet - but also never bothered to test it.

                Also, as it is a spectrum: isn’t everybody on it?

                  I’m just teasing at this whole deep-dive into the background image of a meme, it’s very… stereotypical, but yeah if you have a personal connection it’s definitely more than a hobby interest in old power plants.

                  It’s a great big huge spectrum and there’s room for everyone on it!
