HoF Zollstraße – Deserted and almost empty

There’s really not much left of the old Hall of Fame at Essen’s Northside on Zollstraße other than tons of rubble and a few wildly overgrown wall remnants. The site on which the new Essen 51 district is to be built is still a field of rubble, with little left to remind us of the […]

Essen Steele Ost in May

CHRIS, the visitor from Leipzig, also left his colourful fingerprints in Steele Ost. As I said, visitors who bring gifts are always welcome in Essen. And as if to give me an extra treat, a shy squirrel also came along in his wake. At last! CHRIS ? & COCONUT ALME DEMON & THE TOP NOTCH […]

One Thing is for sure – The Change

In Steele everything is new in spring. Around Kaiser Otto Platz there are a few freshly renovated cable distributors to admire and in addition, some freshly painted flower tubs are waiting to be planted so that the path from the station to the city centre becomes even more colourful.

Murals in Essen (10th)

When I started the series „Murals in Essen“ to answer a good friend and refute his prejudice, that Essen is a real desert of art, especially street art, I would not have expected to write 10 episodes. With the 10th edition the number of murals has increased to one hundred. Hüweg; CVA – SHIK x […]

Essen Steele Ost in January

The new year has also arrived in Essen Steele Ost. When I stopped by on my traditional New Year’s visit, the pervasive smell of fresh paint made it clear that the New Year had been welcomed here with a colourful party. A New Year’s greeting to the usual suspects. May it be a good year […]

One Thing is for sure – The Change

Would you believe that Essen is a well-known player in Northrhine Westfalia’s clubscene? In the early 1990s, the discotheque „Siggi’s Kalei“ was cult. Later Kay Shanghai took over and founded Hotel Shanghai, which is a location dedicated mainly to electro music. The facade of the club is designed frequently and has got it’s newest facelifting […]

Gustav Heinemann Brücke in December

The wall below Gustv Heinemann Brücke in Essen Werden doesn’t change it’s design that often, as it is not listed as one of Essen’s legal walls. Nevertheless new pieces of graffiti pop up here in very infrequent intervals. Why Chrome is so popular with writers is beyond me; they will have their reasons. In any […]

Art leads the way in Essen Steele

After the walls of Steele station were artfully spruced up some time ago, the three pillars at the subway between the station and Steele city centre have now also been redesigned.The Immediate city centre Programme, which is funded by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Municipal Affairs, Building and Equality of the State of North Rhine […]

HoF Villa RÜ in November

Lately I have neglected Villa RÜ a bit and when I did take the time, the pieces I found were no longer untouched and painted over unattractively. Today, however, Villa RÜ has given rich gifts. DEBIL CVA & BLIND IB THE TOP NOTCH & SHIK CVA USW & 0ae Location More pictures -> click

Bilk S – One Thing is for sure – The Change

Let’s go on with the changes at Bilk S. Today the columns are the topic on my agenda. There is no shortage of pillars at Bilk station. I have never counted them, but I have often photographed parts of them. They have always been used for billposting, although not always for advertising. Let’s have a […]
