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:
I was born in that city. There is no way you won’t memorize that shape living there more than a year.
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.
No diagnose yet - but also never bothered to test 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!
What happened to the second tower?
looks like it was moved outside the environment.

So when did you get your diagnosis? I found out I was on the spectrum only last year.

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