Nordstemmen station it had suffered. It was found that the conservation status of the building had been affected by the spread of Serpula lacrymans (dry rot), causing serious deterioration to the roof and other parts of the wooden structure; almost the whole building is affected. Subsequently, the previously closed windows were fitted with grills, supporting the ceilings, which were in danger of collapsing, and new coverings were installed over the roof. Because no buyer had been found for the listed building, Deutsche Bahn submitted an application for its demolition to the Federal Railway Authority (EBA) in Hanover in the summer of 2005.
Serpula divers and other casual observers. Following is a brief description of the cladistics and taxonomic classification of "Serpula": While the higher taxonomy is fairly well understood, the lower taxonomy within the genus "Serpula" is somewhat confusing, and not yet thoroughly worked out. Earlier sources have described as many as 77 different species and subspecies. However, there are currently only 29 recognized species in the genus "Serpula". The number and names of these species may soon change as a result of an ongoing revision of the genus by taxonomists. Worldwide,very common.
