Graffiti in and around Munich

I thought this was a rather nicely done stencil in a S-bahn shelter at Ottobrunn. I thought I´d share it. Anyone else got some good stuff? Thanks.
Take care,
Have fun,

P.S. It wasn´t me.

Is that a bullet hole? Hope so...

This piece of graffiti was spotted outside Ungererbad in Schwabing. I think "Sucht" in this context means "Addiction". Not sure what the message is but the style is kinda reminiscent of the graffiti in Munich noticed by space last week. Has this kind of street art always been present in Munich or are we witnessing a new wave? Together with the Space Invaders, this graffiti is refreshingly adult and intelligent. Better than the oldschool stuff you see sprayed at S-Bahn stations. There are a number of websites documenting graffiti in Munich. One of the more interesting ones is emkaaart.de. Last year the person/people responsible for that site went around replacing newspaper box headlines with their own messages.

And click to see some Banana Graffiti from Maximilianstrasse.

looks like an opium poppy to me...

Sucht" I think means "Addiction". Dunno what the message is tho'.

Or perhaps, "searching"?

There's one of those "Sucht" ones right outside my flat - I thought it was an anti-Nazi thing as I assumed (probably incorrectly) that that was a rose the 'person' is holding up...

isn't it an opium poppy?

If these people spent more time getting an education or a job and less time defacing buildings with this crap then the world would be a better place.

OK, a bit more research reveals that "Sucht" is the handle of the "artist", who remains anonymous. His/her rose stencils appear far and wide, for example this one in London

The Munich Sucht stencils have also been documented (in German) here: Sucht Stencil - which I think includes a photo of the one Jimbo is refering to.

Yep - the Blütenstr. one appeared over Christmas - I've seen people photographing it on occasion too - guess one of 'em was the author of that site.

I'm with Showem.

People hold up pieces of paper with '2 karte sucht' at the opera when they are searching for tickets for that night's performance.

Google says that 'sought' = 'gesucht'.

Perhaps that rose is a rose of peace, although a dove would work as a better image.

Thusly, the image is 'Seek Peace' which would be a political statement.

Just a guess.

I took the rose to be a white rose, hence my anti-Nazi assumptions...

Banksy (from the UK) seems to take most props for kicking off the whole stencil graffiti scene. His stuff is mostly in London and Bristol, but imitations seem to be appearing everywhere.

You can check out his stuff at this site: banksy.co.uk

Stop promoting vandalism!
It's not art.
