Gustav Heinemann Brücke in the course of the years

Werden Bridge is the last in a long row of bridge constructions, connecting Werden and Essen since 1065, when a bridge in Werden was first mentioned in a document. Today’s structure was opened 1968 and since 1982 it bears the name of the 3rd German Federal President, Gustav Heinemann. Looking at old photos, this was […]

HoF Zollstraße – Requiem, Swansong, Farewell

I was invited to take a street art trip with friends in Dortmund yesterday, but the night brought a lot of snow and so we decided to avoid longer journeys and stayed in Essen. The idea was to have a look at HoF Zollstraße and take a cup of tea later. On site I got […]

One thing is for sure – the change

Former administration building of colliery Amalie at Helenenstraße 110 is deserted. All those Kruppians have moved away, the building site of Essen 51 comes closer. 2010 the wall at the access road to the company premises was painted on behalf of the company by a number of local artists with the slogan „Developing the Future“, […]

HoF Unterführungsstraße – CMYK DOTS

I haven’t had the opportunity to see an installation of Berlin based street artist OKSE 126 outside Berlin so far. That makes this finding very special to me. In Berlin however, those installations can be found more often, but as a tourist, beeing in town only temporary, it’s a question of luck. Since the year […]

Hold on – Everything will be fine in the end …

Seen yesterday at Borbeck station Everything will be fine in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end. Am Ende wird alles gut. Wenn es nicht gut ist, ist es nicht das Ende.

HoF Alte Kaserne in January

Its time to serve the dessert of my 3 course menu and come to an end with the test run of the brandnew car of my sister. The last stop of our day trip was HoF Alte Kaserne. It was still Sunday and this hall was very busy too – what else? So the same […]

HoF Unterführungsstraße in January

The test run with the brandnew car of my sister didn’t stop at HoF Emscherhalle. Emscherhalle was the starter of a 3 course menu. The main course was HoF Unterführungsstraße. OK – it was a Sunday and I know that weekends are always busy at all legal walls. Duisburg naturally is no exception. Nevertheless I […]

HoF Emscherhalle in January

One man’s meat – Another man’s poison For this post I was in need of a second headline. My sister’s car waved good bye in the last days of December. She was not amused – that was a big investment right at the beginning of the year, but unfortunately unavoidable. She was lucky to find […]
