GERMANY: Streetart Flöha – Augustusburger 118 – Old Colored Paper Factory – Urban Art Festival – IBUG

The old Buntfarbenfabrik in Flöha, or „Colored Paint Factory“ in English, was founded in 1878, but even before that it housed the former Strobel spinning mill. The industrial site has now been derelict for many years and has become an exciting lost place and urbex spot. Urban artists have also discovered this, especially the organizers of the great festival series IBUG, short for „Industriebrachenumgestaltung“, which means in English „Industrial Brownfield Redevelopment“. The 16th and 17th editions of the event took place on the abandoned factory site in 2021 and 2022 and countless great works were created.
