Went to a congress of Northwestern Europe's urban planners last week in Emden, a city in Germany's extreme northwest. The focus there was on waterside development. Not only was this congress interresting, the town itself was quite nice aswell.
Here are some pics:

there are poorer areas aswell. mostly Russian immigrants live in these flats.

an abandoned military base, built in 1910.

these buildings just sit there, wasting away.
