#Doorsday bloody Doorsday ... 💀 Oh, let's go!

I am happy to report that my trip to #Augsburg last week was a treasure trove for anyone who loves #doors (aka yours truly)! I only had an hour to explore the old town, but I found so many lovely doors. So behold, here's a badass one! ☠️

This is a #door of the #Stadtmetzg. Can you guess what this listed #historicBuilding used to be? It was built in 1609 as the #butchers' guildhall! I imagine it was deemed too refined for the messy process of slaughtering (this was done in the vicinity), but it was used as a central butchery to store and distribute meat to the city's butchers, using the Lech canal underneath to cool the meat in the basement and dispose of the waste.

The site burned down in 1634 and was rebuilt. In 1720 the Academy of Art moved into the upper floors (very random, I know). With the industrialization, the Stadtmetzg was losing importance and in 1930 it permanently closed. After renovations, was used as an administrative building by the city of Augsburg. In WWII it was severely damaged, but once again restored. Today it is still in use as an administrative building.

Sorry for the long post, there's just so much to tell. 🫣 To any Augsburgers out there: I hope I got the facts straight!

A close-up shows a grand, arched doorway of a historic stone building, the Stadtmetzg in Augsburg. Heavy, dark wooden double doors are framed by intricately carved grey stone. Above the arch, ornate ironwork features a central floral motif. Flanking the doorway are stone pilasters topped with weathered bull skull carvings. A decorative stone pediment sits above the architrave. The building's facade is a mix of pale yellow and grey stone.
