The Lab

The Dr. Neher Laboratory was built during the reconstruction period after World War II to house a research facility which was completely off-limits to the public. At the time this video was made, the facility had been closed and was scheduled to be demolished. As a result of public protest the city permit needed for destruction of the building was delayed. Because of this delay, the age requirement (50years) for monumental status was reached and the building was placed on a protected monument list of historical buildings here in The Netherlands.

The images in Malon's film are film fragments made of materials within the city archives and new footage.
