Berlin’s street art scene flourishes through historic rebellion, diverse artistic communities, and iconic locations like East Side Gallery transforming urban landscapes.
Berlin stands as one of the world’s most important street art capitals, with a vibrant scene rooted in the city’s history of political rebellion, cultural transformation, and artistic freedom. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 created unprecedented opportunities for artistic expression on vacant buildings and abandoned spaces throughout the reunified city.
The iconic East Side Gallery, featuring murals painted directly on remaining Wall sections, symbolizes Berlin’s transformation from divided city to unified cultural center. Neighborhoods like Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, and Mitte showcase diverse artistic styles from traditional graffiti writing to large-scale murals, stencil art, and experimental installations.

Street Photography: Mauerpark Flea Market
In my opinion there is hardly nothing better than to spend half a day at a flea market. I like the tiny alleys between the almost infinite number of stalls and wagons. I love it to search and find things of which I never knew that they exist, handmade shirts, old books or crazy furnishings.
But what i like most, is to watch and photograph other people which are extremely absorbed in the search after a bargain! Flea markets are an indispensable element of urban landscape!
