Germany's Abandoned Bobsleigh Tracks and Calls for Code Contributions Dominant Digital Sphere

Culture & SocietyApr 18, 2026score 0.533 posts · 0 replies across 2 instances
The digital activity is split between personal sharing of analogue subjects and promotion for digital content. @[email protected] shared photographs from the disrepaired upper section of the 2,450 metre #Spießbergbahn in #Thuringia, Germany, detailing its history as the birthplace of German bobsleighing. @[email protected] expressed high enthusiasm for the #MonochromeMarch e-zine, urgently requesting copies of the first volume due to the praise given to Volume 2. Separately, @[email protected] issued a formal Call for Papers for Issue #9 of the 'PagedOut' e-zine, setting the deadline as 30 April 2026. The content stream shows no unified focus. Personal users are sharing photo essays on decay and niche history, while organizational accounts are pushing specific academic/hobbyist contributions. The primary action items are acquiring old e-zines and submitting articles by the 2026 deadline.

Quick, before the server is down again!! 🙄 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #FootpathFriday at an old, abandoned #bobsleigh track. This is the upper section of the 2,450 metre long #Spießbergbahn in #Thuringia, Germany's only remaining natural ice track still in use. Inaugurated in 1910, it once hosted numerous national bobsleigh and #luge competitions. In fact, it's considered the birthplace of German bobsleighing! Since 1983, only the lower 1,450 metres have been maintained for competitions and training, while the upper section you see here has fallen into disrepair. The photo shows the first of the track's original 18 curves. The area is now popular with hikers, but we turned around here and didn't explore further as the family was waiting back at the hotel. 😅 #Bobbahn #Rodelbahn #bobsled #Bobsport #Rodelsport #bobsleighTrack #lugeTrack #wandern #hiking #hike #derelict #decay #natureReclaims #natureReclaiming #Spießberg #Friedrichroda #Thüringen #ThuringianForest #ThüringerWald
