This mural is at the entrance of the “artists’ quarter” in Böblingen. Pubs and bars crowded together in a small, provincial town.

There can only be one.
Actually, there are, as you can see, at least three. I saw the above sculpture on a tombstone in an exhibition for graveyard designs. While I think it’s cool I wonder if anybody chose this as an actual tombstone.
Is DEATH crying?
I took this picture with my phone. I keep telling myself that I have to go back to this mural with a proper camera. It is near the home of the Frankfurt football club “Eintracht” – where else?

It’s better to be a big fish on a big house
I couldn’t match the shiny vintage car of Cee nor the beautiful and stark maritime mural but I found a mural with fish, actually a four storey house with fish.
This was Cee’s given photograph for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge:

Karl Friedrich Michael Vaillant
Who??! — Better known as Carl Benz, the inventor of the first viable automobile. This portrait of his is in Ladenburg, close to Mannheim, Germany, where he made his invention and located to – privately as well as his factory – in 1904.
This is for One Word Sunday. More who? photos can be found here.
These boots are made for walking
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.
