  • Building art

    Walking down Prenzlauer Alle I happened to look over my shoulder and saw this amazing bit of art above a roofline on the side of a building.

    In the background in Fernsehturm Berlin, the TV tower..

  • Statue of Kathe Kollwitz

    One of the reasons for coming to Berlin was to look at the art and culture.

    One of my daughters favourites is Kathe Kollwitz, and the park just in the next block is named after her and contains this statue.

  • Street art

    One of the things I was looking forward to in coming to Berlin was the thriving street art scene.

    While some is little more than graffiti and tagging, some like this in the courtyard of a building on Kollwitzstrasse is strong and powerful..

  • Front doorbells – Sredzkistrasse 35

    Like a lot of the buildings in this part of Berlin, there are no numbers on either the apartments, or the door bells, just a space for the name of the apartments occupants. (and no … I haven’t met David Bowie yet )

  • Danziger strasse
    Parking with your rear wheels in the gutter and your nose on the footpath appears to be legal,at least “with parking ticket or resident parking permit”

  • Outside bar
    Not all the street art you see is non-commercial nor salubrious

  • mural
    This mural wraps around the corner over the ground floor of a bulding – Sredzkistrasse and Hagenauerstrasse


  • Street art, Prenzlauer berg
    El Bocho – Melancholy girls

    I’m just working through some of my photos from Berlin with a bit more time to look at them. One of the more prolific street artists is El Bocho, and one of his signature pieces are melancholy looking girls, often with “I miss my … ’ sorts of sayings.

    From my perspective he probably has his work defaced more than most – the pieces I found having tags or other graffiti over most of them.

  • Kulturbrauerei
    At the start of the street is Kulturbrauerei, originally a brewery but now a sprawling expanse of cafes, bars and venues. It also has our local supermarket, Rewe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulturbrauerei
