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.
This is for Monday Murals where you can find more murals and graffiti.
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)

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 …
This is for Monday Murals.
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.
More Monday Murals can be found here.
This is an old one, found on the side of a house inside the Heidelberg zoo, advertising the local beer and obviously, with a zoo theme.

Another house. This one is from Bensheim, Germany – about as far away from any ocean or sea that you can get in Germany.
Maybe that’s exactly why they liked the fish theme – who knows?
It is opposite a public swimming pool, though.

What I liked about this one is that although the mural is on the side facing the road, the whole house is tinted pink. Saw this one in Bad Wildbad, a town in the northern Black Forest.

“Bei uns kommt der Strom aus der Steckdose” = Our electricity comes from the socket. This was familiar saying in the 80s in Germany. I don’t know the origin but nowadays it is used disparagingly to characterise an attitude of people who want (and waste) electricity mindless of how it is produced. This transformer substation reminded me of this phrase although I’m sure the electricity company meant to illustrate that they are the ones supplying electricity to all households. The houses are typical for the region, the Odenwald in Germany.

I’ve used the painted wooden toilet seats once before in a photo challenge: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/19/wcs-with-water-and-without/
The photo challenge asks for buildings and trees. The first two pictures are maybe not quite was is expected, yet …
A house side panel in Weimar, Germany.
Literally, a house with a tree, Haus zum Dannenbaum (House of the Fir Tree) in Ladenburg, Germany.
And then something more traditional:
The entry building to the German national garden show in Brandenburg an der Havel.
Hermannshof, a show garden with the original house in Weinheim, Germany.
