German Subway Pig in Breedene, West-Vlaanderen, December 2009
The graffiti scene in Germany has a rich history and is considered one of the most influential in Europe. It originated in the 1980s, with the rise of hip-hop culture and the punk movement, and has since developed into a vibrant and diverse subculture.
German graffiti artists are known for their innovative styles and techniques, and the country is home to some of the world's largest and most famous graffiti murals. Despite this, graffiti remains illegal in many parts of Germany, and artists often face persecution from the authorities. However, there are also many cities, such as Berlin, that have embraced graffiti and even provide legal walls for artists to showcase their work.
