I found these at Joerg's who, since the sites are in German, has this explanation:

Lars Bober's series Verödete Landschaften [deserted landscapes] shows Germany's Mezzogiorno, the East German states, which to a large extent are frozen in disrepair, with large parts literally deserted by its former inhabitants who went West to look for work.
