I was asked, in which building I took that photo of a rusted control panel: fav.me/ddbr62k

Here it is. That signalbox was called Tower 12 (Stellwerk 12) and controlled a part of the hump point zone beyond the group retarders of the former Braunschweig marshalling yard. The hump point zone leading into the left area of the classification bowl was controlled by similar looking Tower 11. Originally, it had a similar control panel. After being hit by a bomb in WW2, it was replaced by a traditional powerframe control machine. Remainings of that control machine are still to be found in Tower 11.
