Kleinmarkthalle Frankfurt

Goethe, Handkäse and apple wine instead of tags.

In 2016 we painted the north side of Frankfurt's Kleinmarkthalle. A tagged corner became a mural that the Frankfurter Neue Presse called the longest graffito in the city.

01The problem

Fine food inside, tags outside.

Inside the Kleinmarkthalle, more than 60 vendors sell fresh food from around the world. The outside wall by the parking lot didn't fit that at all.

The corner was a hotspot for illegal graffiti and left a lot to be desired, both to the eye and to the nose. The vendors, the city's Clean Frankfurt unit and the building department wanted to upgrade the area.

02The solution

A piece of Frankfurt between cheese and vegetables.

We collected what makes Frankfurt Frankfurt and put it on the wall between wine, cheese, fruit and vegetables: the Bembel jug, the Ebbelwoi-Express tram and green sauce herbs, the Eiserner Steg bridge, Eintracht's eagle Attila, Goethe and Heinz Schenk.

So the wall tells both stories: the market behind it and the city around it.

  1. Frankfurt faces

    Goethe, Heinz Schenk, Anne Frank and Otto Hahn look down from the wall.

  2. Regional cuisine

    The Bembel jug, Handkäse cheese and green sauce herbs connect the wall to the market.

  3. Landmarks

    The Eiserner Steg, the Ebbelwoi-Express and Eintracht's eagle Attila bring in the city.

03The result

A wall Frankfurt's press wrote about.

It just needed someone everyone respects to take on the design.
