Not exactly street art but the very powerful Holocaust memorial dedicated to all the Jews killed during the second world war. The inspiration for this came from the Jewish cemetery in Prague.
We were in Berlin for celebrations of German unification. There were two giant puppets who travelled across the city from east and west who came together at the Brandenburg Gate. This is a picture of one of the giants. We went to the Brandenburg gate the day after the celebrations and the crowds were still horrendous.
There are bear buddies are all around Berlin. These are fibreglass bears about the height of a person. Once you have tuned in, you can see them all over the place. Apparently they went sent to all parts of the world and came back decorated! You can buy miniatures in souvenir shops.
Not exactly street art but a very powerful memorial to those who lost their lives in war – mother with dead soldier son – open to elements all year round so can be covered with snow or rain
You need to look at this one sideways – Sculpture at Potsdammer Platz station
There are lots of examples of public art in Berlin. I took many photos particularly of sculptures around the city.
There is a whole industry around the traffic light symbols, the red and green man. These have been in East Berlin since the 60s and have now been adopted as a symbol of German unification in the 90s. You can buy lots of different merchandise featuring them including bags, Tshirts etc.. Anthony bought matching badges.
