Monday Murals - Cologne

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. 


I saw this mural in Cologne, near one of the underground stations. 
A mural showing Cologne's mayor Henriette Reker, one of the very few women in German local politics. I found it very colourful, hence photographed it!



Other murals in Cologne:








Seen at Bonn/Cologne Airport.

  4. I tried to google who she was but all I learnt was Cologne is really Koln. Why do we do this?? Is it really that hard for English speakers to learn a few words??!! I'm amazed I'm so old and so stupid at the same time....

  8. The portrait could almost be a young Angela Merkel, except she is smiling.
    The two up from the last is cute.

  11. Here's another beautiful, varied and colourful series. I really like the fresco at the airport and also the naive fresco with the tank going out the frame. At last we're back to being prehistoric men painting on the walls of our homes. I wish you a good week

  13. So many great murals, love the flowers the most! I think it was 2002, our Dad had just passed and I stayed with my Bro in Cologne (in one room!!! Flat sharing on top!) , where he studied. Not one mural!! I think 2008 was the last time I was there for further training. No mural. We, as in "Germany" sneak into the world, it seems... yippeee

    1. It appears murals are now more popular in Germany, Berlin certainly had many...maybe some cities have more than others. Thanks Iris

  14. Murals certainly do brighten up a city. Some of these seem to approximate graffiti. I guess it's a find line to differentiate the two forms,

    1. Some of these are certainly borderline between graffiti and murals. Thanks David.

  20. I love the variety. The floral one is my favorite.

    I wonder if the wall’s repainted if the mayor loses the next election.
