When German architect Mark Aretz planned on renovating a Leipzig apartment building, he knew there was much work to be done. But when he opened the door to one unit, he was completely taken aback. Apparently, no one had lived there since 1988. The former occupant was a 24-year-old on the run from the DDR authorities. And, as Spiegel Online reports (in German), everything from that era had been preserved -- sort of like that movie Good Bye Lenin! -- right down to the Flaschen of Hit-Cola. Shockingly, the place was a sty.
