Aerial view taken in 2000 of the 4.5 Km-long so-called "colossus of Ruegen" complex in Prora, Germany. Ruins from the massive vacation resort built by the Nazis were sold at auction to an anonymous buyer for 768,000 USD(AFP/DDP/File)

At that price it was a steal....
At one time, it was operated as the world's longest hotel. Loooong walk to the breakfast buffet.
It may be somewhat run down, but I wouldn't describe the buildings pictured as being "ruins". It's got a roof, windows, reasonably well kept landscaping...
Add a couple dozen construction cranes and it looks like Moscow circa 1987.
As pointed out in the book, "The Psychopathic God", the Franz von Stuck painting "The Wild Chase" was painted the year of Hitler's birth, and Hitler quite literally modeled his look on the character in the painting, from the mustache and hair style, even down to the cape which he wore early in his political ascendancy (I believe he wears it during the Nuremburg rally featured in "Triumph of the Will").
'screepy.

Prora is a complex of eight identical, six-storey blocks which has stood for 70 years along the beachfront on the Baltic island of Rugen. Originally, it was conceived as a Nazi holiday camp that would provide morale-strengthening breaks to refresh German workers for their Aryan duties.
