KIRSCHENFRAU meets Demining Team

In March 2023, Berlin artist LACUNA left a paste-up on one of his short visits to Essen, showing a couple of life-weary scarab beetles removing a highly explosive mine. The beetles remained alone for a long time, but now they have some colourful company. KIRSCHENFRAU has placed one of her colourful works next to them. […]

HoF Villa RÜ in May

WOW! What’s going on at the villa? The Simpsons are in a party mood and are getting jiggy with it. Bart has already taken off, no wonder, the rest of the family is letting the cow fly and is in the early stages of nirvana. The passers-by don’t mind; they are used to colourful celebrations […]

HoF Auf der Donau in April

On my last walk around HoF Auf der Donau, I came across a whole horde of weird characters. Let’s see, there was a milkmaid whose milk was flowing out of a can, a wasp with an impressive sting and a slightly befuddled ghetto bird, not to mention the lion whose whiskers belong more to a […]

HoF Auf der Donau in April

It has survived for a long time; the CR crew’s memorial piece for their deceased friend. I took the first pictures of this oversized tribute to RINK in August 2021 and for a long time it seemed as if this piece of wall at the Hall of Fame Auf der Donau had been taboo ever […]

HoF Villa RÜ in April

There is no doubt about it! Spring is finally here. You can see it very clearly at the villa. The wintry dreariness has been wiped away. The writers have finally awoken from their winter coma. Thank heavens – this year is finally getting going! BRICKS AND DRIPS EKSIT & artist unknown 0ae x MEAN x […]

Varieties – The Ghostbusters

Actually an incredible educational gap. After all, the movie „The Ghostbusters“ was released in 1984 and has been shown countless times on television since then. Nevertheless, I hadn’t seen them until today. A gap in my education – as I said before. Of course, I know the characters anyway. I’ve often met them on the […]

Essen Steele Ost in March

The pedestrian tunnel in Steele Ost will have a new look in March. Unfortunately, some of the great pieces have already been crossed again, while others are still in the working process, waiting to be completed. The rest of the pieces will put you in a good mood and underline the start of spring with […]

HoF Villa RÜ in March

The natural occurrence of cacti, with the exception of those of the Essen Cactus Club, is limited to the American double continent. I had been mildly worried because no cacti have been sighted in my area since the onset of winter. But it seems that with the arrival of spring, nothing can stop our cheeky […]

I prefer objects that don’t move

Railway fans are special, nobody knows that better than me. After all, I married one. So I know that if he were still here, I would do well to keep my passion for painted trains a secret. He would have a problem with that. My problem with painted trains is different. They simply move too […]

HoF Villa RÜ in March

There used to be a way of restricting access to the Villa RÜ site. And I’ve always been annoyed by this stupid red and white pole, and almost always managed to avoid it in my photos. But after the refurbishment, they have now opted for an annoyingly inelegant and extremely disruptive version of a barrier. […]
