It’s an industrial mural – I checked it up and the company produces safety shoes and boots for the work environment. It looks nice though, much better than a uniform grey wall.

Hidden in the woods
This mural is on the side of a country inn, very difficult to see because the forest comes close and there are trees right in front. Even without the leaves as it is winter now, it is hidden in the shadows. The style is old fashioned and not typical for the area, which makes it interesting.
This is for Monday Murals.
Mathilde or Marianne?
This mural tells a story from the time of the German revolutionary upheavals 1848/49. It can be found in Kirchheimbolanden opposite the old town wall. Unfortunately, it has fallen into a state of decay and urgently needs reparation works.
This is the mural seen from above, standing on the town wall.
A detail with Mathilde Hitzfeld (a young woman who fought on the side of the revolutionaries for freedom and democracy), almost like a German Marianne (the symbolic figure of the French Revolution).
The state of disrepair can be seen with this singular figure, a few metres away from the mural, missing hand an all.

The blue bird of happiness
This mural, created by Holger Kurt Jäger, adorns the outside wall of a children’s daycare centre. Inside the grounds the artist worked with the children, painting walls and using stencils:
Another wall was decorated a few years earlier, unfortunately there are spaces for cars right in front.
Another mural on a Monday, seen in Düsseldorf, Germany, on the outside of a nursery. The artist is Holger Kurt Jäger.

Come on and let’s play!
These huts are housing amenities at a new playground in Mörlenbach, Germany. Perfectly appropriate to brighten the site, I think.

And I could have used this for Travel with Intent‘s theme of the week: multicoloured.
Max and Moritz
These two are quite famous in Germany and are credited to be the predecessors to modern cartoons. They are the creation of writer and artist Wilhelm Busch. Even if you don’t speak German have a look at the book.
A pharmacy in Bad Homburg, a town near Frankfurt, Germany, has taken their name and their adorned its premises with their likeness.

Try your luck!
For once, I found a mural with a signature – Christian Schopp (but no additional information on the artist, except for his mobile phone no. in the corner ). This is on the side of a newspaper kiosk in Bad Homburg, where magazines, tobacco, and lottery tickets are sold.

Musician and knights
These murals are on two separate block of flats, marking the corner of a parking area. They are created in the same mosaic style but one is a framed panel of about 5 by 2 metres, whereas the other one covers the whole side of a two storeyed house. (Darmstadt, Hessen, Germany)

What purple dreams may come
I found this fun guy in a pedestrian underpass in Lüneburg, Germany. He was the only worthwhile creature on an ugly, smeared wall full of tags and badly written slogans.
A bit later I met him again, this time on a distribution box. I’m sure if I had had more time to spend I would have seen him even more often.
From the same town a simple quote – “Let your dreams outlast the night.” As long as they are not nightmares …

A zest for life
I seem to find these more traditional murals around here.
This one – from the old part of town of “Newtown an der Weinstraße” in Rhineland Pallatium, Germany – is called “Phantastische Allegorie zu Neustadt und der Lebensfreude” (Phantastic allegorie about Neustadt and zest for life). It was created by Werner Holz for H. Grübius (both names appear in the picture). I’m not sure about the date, I believe I can read 1990something, the artist died in 1991.
