Monday Murals - in Braunschweig

I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.

Thanks Sami 

Although we only spent 1 1/2 days in Braunschweig, I still managed to spot some murals.

Looking for a restaurant near the River Oker, (probably at Gieselerwall) that turned out to be closed  I came across this mural that depicts some of Braunschweig monuments. You can see them in my previous post.

☺Iris might be able to identify others?

Henry the Lion, Rathaus (town hall) tower, the Cathedral, Gewandhaus (cloth merchant's hall)

Not sure what the containers between Henry and the Braunschweig coat of arms are?

NLB is a bank


On our wandering around town I saw this in an entrance to a parking lot behind the building.

Another one in a parking lot not far from the Oker river... wish I had taken a photo of the street for Iris.

Holding up the city


Happy Rizzi House - located in the old quarter of Magniviertel , by New York pop artist James Rizzi, with facades covered in cartoon characters, stars and hearts could also be considered a mural I think :) 






These were seen during our very short visit to Wolfenbüttel, (from the bus stop to the hospital) where we went to show our daughter the hospital where she was born.

    1. Rizzi House, although it looks a bit out of place among all the old buildings, brings some vibrancy and modernity to the city. Thanks Kwarkito

  7. I like the muted colours in the first mural. Could they be beer barrels near the lion? I've seen Rizzi House somewhere before. It makes me think of childish Gaudi architecture.

    1. Oh yes, beer barrels could be answer Andrew :) Yes Rizzi house is reminiscent of Gaudi.

  9. Yes, we were wondering about the containers, too. Think they are the artist´s tools?
    Sad Henry was tagged...
    I sadly have no idea where the parking lot is. Not having a car anymore is an excuse?
    I gave my company car away in 2018!!
    Yes, to the Happy Rizzie House :-)
    Oh, and Henry is busy there. Cute.

    1. Wow really, how interesting. One day you should visit your ancestor's birth place, I'm sure you will like Braunschweig, and you're not too far away either.

  16. I am quite sure, Sami, that when you next visit your optometrist she will discover that you have an extra fovea, unusual in its construction, and it will be discovered that it zeroes in on murals! Be sure to publish the results!

    1. LOL, you made me laugh David. My eyes are certainly well trained by now to spot murals, even the ones my family doesn't even see.
