A derelict kitchen. The site is full of reminders of the life it was once filled with.
The buildings did not only house soliders but their families too. Pictured here is an abandoned classroom in the school that was built on the site.
Construction at the site began in 1951. This image shows the entrance to the on-site medical care facility.
Quitely rusting away: Pictured here are the old coal ovens that used to heat the buildings.
A wall in one of the dining rooms is still adorned with a traditional Russian scene once intended to remind soldiers of home.
The obligatory frieze of Lenin likewise adorns one of the walls on the site.
Another view into the boiler room. Some 15,000 soldiers and civilians lived on the site.
A memento of days past: Here a jacket still hangs on a nail in the boiler room.
An empty mess hall, completely emptied of tables and life.
The Soviets used to hold atomic weapons at Vogelsang -- ready to strike at a moments notice. This crumbling fresco of Russian astronauts serves as a reminder of the former might of the USSR.
Vogelsang, the forgotten city near Berlin, is little more than ruins today. But from 1952 to 1994, it was one of the biggest Soviet military bases in the world. Here, a decaying sports hall.
