Help Fund 'Leaving JHQ Rheindahlen Behind'

Hello! I am currently trying to raise some funds for my MSc Filmmaking and Media Arts production.

 

The film will tell the story of JHQ Rheindahlen, a now abandoned military base in Germany - active from 1954 to 2013 - and my relationship to the site; it was home for me and my family from 1999 till 2012.

 

At it’s peak the camp was home to around 10,000, made up of roughly 2,000 buildings, ranging from houses, schools, shops, a swimming pool, cafes, medical centres, a cinema and buildings serving the military purposes of the camp. Since the camps closure in 2013 these have largely all been left to return back to nature. A section of the camp, reportedly the former ‘Big House’, the administrative headquarters of the camp, has been used to temporarily house refugees, but aside from this it has remained a ghost town, visited only by the occasional former resident hoping the fence and the security who try to stop them.
