Berlin Street Art and Graffiti
A little piece of culture
If someone asks me to describe the capital of Germany, I will say Berlin is really unique. The city cannot be described with the ordinary definition of “beautiful” because it has its own charming. Berlin is unique, lively and creative in many aspects. With most of the citizens from many places around the world, Berlin is a melting pot of exotic cultures and living styles. It’s difficult to decide what to see in Berlin because there are SO MANY things that you should observe. In this article, I will focus on the very interesting perspective of this city – Berlin Street Art and Graffiti!
Berlin Wall
Thanks to its popularity, Berlin Wall is one of the must-see-attractions if you visit the capital of Germany. It was built to divide Berlin from 1961 to 1989 into two parts: East Berlin and West Berlin.
When the Wall was taken down, many artists have used it as an art gallery for exhibition. Walking along Berlin Wall, I can see the creativity and exceptional contribution of artists. Here are some pictures from my discovery.
My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love
You surely cannot miss this iconic graffiti “My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love” by Dmitri Vrubel. This artwork is also referred as “Fraternal Kiss”. It is one of the most well-known murals in the Berlin Wall Galery.
You can find this mural around the middle of East Side Gallery wall. After the restoration in 2009, the fenced was put in front of the mural to protect it from destruction.
“Fraternal Kiss” by Dmitri Vrubel
Wow, I had no idea there was so much graffiti in Berlin! I’d seen images of the artwork on the Wall, but I didn’t realize how much it extends into the city. Some of it is quite beautiful.
I did not relize as well, until I took the tour! Lots of them are amazing 🙂
I couldn’t agree less with you on the uniqueness of Germany/Berlin. Those artworks are a die to see. This is my first time of coming across such beauty and I’m impressed. The fraternity kiss mural is a wow. I’d read more about it. I’d always remember Fukushima even after this post. The artists of Berlin are so talented.
I totally agree with you. The artists in Berlin are so amazing! I was in an awe when I first saw these works!
Love these images of street art!
Thank you for stopping by 🙂
There is some very creative street art in Berlin. When I visited the artwork was different on the Berlin Wall, I think they must change that often. It’s interesting t walk around cities looking for beautiful street art and I think very rewarding too in Berlin.
I guess that they have changed something on the Berlin Wall. The city is so unique with the street art.
Love the street art in this post. I’m actually going to Berlin next month, and this post is making me more excited to go. I didn’t realise there was a street art tour you could take in Berlin. I might have to check that out.
I’m excited for you too! I hope you will enjoy the trip in Berlin 🙂
Wow! So lovely
Thank you for stopping by 🙂 Hope you enjoy the reading!
Hi there! So excited I stroll upon this post. I visited Berlin for the first time two years ago and I tool a graffiti city tour as well and fell in love with all these masterpieces. I definetely visited the mejority of the pieces of art photographed above 🙂 I totally agree, this part of the city drastically differs from the “touristy” places in the centre. All bests, – Mariella
Thank you so much for stopping by Mariella 🙂 I’m glad that you love the street arts like I do!
I loved all the street art in Berlin! You really captured some great photos, I definitely didn’t see this much. I can’t wait to go back and try and find some more of these.
I’m glad to hear that. There are so much changes in Berlin, so it’s always a good idea to go back and experience!
Love this compilation of photos. There are some really interesting murals here, I’d love to go visit myself!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will have great time there 🙂
This is a great guide for me because I love Berlin and keep finding myself going back time and again. You highlighted many areas I am not yet familiar with and I’m going to make it my mission to see that Astronaut piece in Person!! 🙂 thanks!
The Astronaut piece is incredible! You will love it when you see it in person 😉
I loved Berlin! I’ve done the free alternative walking tour. It was really cool and explanative.
That’s nice to know! I love the walking tour too. It is really informative 🙂
I’ve not long got back from Berlin and I loved my first trip there! The street art was one of my favourite things 🙂
Good to hear that! Street art is my favorite part too 🙂
Wow this is a great first impression of berlin. We’ve only passed through berlin and never got to explore the city. Hopefully when we come there next, we’ll be able to see some of these in person.
Such a pity that you haven’t seen Berlin. I would love to hear about your experience when you get there 🙂
I adore Berlin, and I remember seeing many of these places when I was there. I love Fraternal Kiss, still so iconic. I’ll try to visit Yaam next time, it looks so vibrant.
Yamm is a really special place that I found. It has its own hype atmosphere 🙂
