…and here we met with tracks going into nowhere. Tracks filled with memories of movement. Ghosts.
  
Across the park and stretching above the meadow, an abandoned railway, complete with stone viaducts and meadow bridges has become a haven for wildlife, earning a place in the city's nature conservation inventory. 
The overgrown railway embankments and rusty bridges stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era, where the tracks, though long devoid of locomotives, remain under the administration of the German Railway, posing challenges for their potential repurposing (of which notably an integration platform for refugees - a cafe as working space, on the extensive bridge area). 

Encountering the tracks, marked by their ethereal presence yet abundant biodiversity, evokes a sense of being in an enchanted space. It also prompts contemplation: What does the notion of movement signify when there's no departure point or destination anymore?
This area appears to encapsulate the lived experience of refugees hosted by the nearby asylum center. Rather than perceiving their state of in-betweenness as a transitional phase marked by movement and self-determination, these refugees seem to encounter it more as a limbo, akin to what researcher Duchêne-Lacroix has aptly termed "vacancy."

“Vacancy: a situation of plural or plurilocal disintegration or emptiness, a kind of wandering with or without movement. It describes an extreme aspect of spatial double absence, where mobility loses significance as the goal or meaning of movement and anchoring disappears.” (Duchêne-Lacroix, C. (2009), according to Sayad, A. (1999))
