The large-format wall is located in an Ehrenfeld playground. Once used solely as a dog toilet, our commissioned graffiti artwork marked the beginning of a beautification effort for the unused playground.
To give children a wonderful feeling while playing and to invite them to dream, our concept was to create a childishly naive fantasy style.
In addition to the wall artwork, there is now a climbing frame, a boules court, and several well-maintained flower beds here.

The Carnival Committee invited us, as the first graffiti artists in Cologne Carnival history, to create and paint a float.
For the 2011 Rose Monday Parade of the Cologne Carnival, with the theme 'Cologne has something to beat', we came up with the idea to build and paint the parade marshal's float as a hippie bus. This colorful carnival float was created in close collaboration with the float builders.

In May 2011, Goodlack completed this graffiti commission for Friedrich Wassermann GmbH & Co.
The theme of the artistic concept we developed was the joy of music. We chose this theme because this tunnel is the access route to the new Girlitzweg event hall in Cologne/Müngersdorf.
The mural is 40 meters long.

Goodlack Facade Art had the honor of designing a new Swatch store in Cologne city center. Our clients from Biel, Switzerland, envisioned a street art style design and were not disappointed. The entire store has now become a real eye-catcher, adorned with many local motifs in an urban art style. In addition to Cologne Cathedral and the city's coat of arms, many well-known details can be discovered.
Client and Project Brief
Deutsche Bahn AG commissioned us to create artistic concepts for its train stations as part of the North Rhine-Westphalia state's station enhancement program. The goal was to design identity-building concepts with which the local population could identify. Due to the respective local connection to each location, all graffiti designs for the 12 stations were to be individual, yet still show commonality and recognition value through a uniform stylistic implementation.
Objective and Implementation Description
The motifs we chose are intended to convey a sense of the city as soon as one enters the platform. Local landmarks were depicted in detail in a photorealistic style, serving as eye-catchers. Backgrounds such as the city's skyline and its coat of arms, however, were kept in a subtle, graphic style, further enhancing the sense of identity.
Our team of 12 graffiti artists worked on a total of twelve train stations using high-quality silicate facade paints and acrylic graffiti spray cans. All large-scale artistic graffiti murals were sealed in the final step with an anti-graffiti protective layer, allowing any potential defacement to be easily cleaned.
Success and Feedback Description
Through the colorful and vibrant graffiti designs, the train stations receive a significant upgrade. They convey joy of life, positivity, and regional connection, making the stay at the station premises a pleasant experience with much to discover.

Kölner Verkehrsbetriebe (KVB) commissioned us to transform a formerly drab grey railway bridge in Cologne-Ossendorf into an appealing graffiti artwork.
Inspired by the nearby Ossendorf Airport, which also served as a launch site for zeppelins, we developed a concept that incorporates the aviation history of the location. Our goal was to transform the drab concrete bridge into a real eye-catcher.
With a combination of photorealistic elements and comic-like motifs, we created a pleasing composition that highlights the zeppelin and the airport. The vibrant colors and detailed depictions make the bridge appear in a new light and enrich the cityscape of Cologne-Ossendorf.
We are pleased to have realized this beautiful graffiti commission together with Kölner Verkehrsbetriebe. The wall design of the railway bridge is not only an aesthetic enhancement but also a tribute to the aviation history of the district. We invite all interested parties to view this graffiti mural on site and learn more about the history of Ossendorf Airport.
GL Verleih welcomes its customers into the main building with this beautiful graphic graffiti artwork.

Historic Facade Art for a Private Homeowner in Cologne Nippes
For our client, an admirer of the Cologne Heinzelmännchen legend, we developed an artistic concept that complements the architecture of his house.
Our mural depicts a well-known scene from the Cologne Heinzelmännchen legend, in which the tailor's wife scatters peas on the stairs, causing the Heinzelmännchen to fall.
This facade design now commemorates an important cultural heritage from Cologne.
We were commissioned by the Cologne Edelweiss Pirates Board of Trustees to create an artistic concept for a new mural. The mural serves as a reminder of the young people from the Edelweiss group in Ehrenfeld who were illegally murdered by the National Socialists.
The street art artwork and memorial are located at the same site as the Nazi execution ground on Bartholomäus-Schink-Straße in Cologne Ehrenfeld.
The wall sections, previously defaced with graffiti, are part of the railway embankment substructure of Ehrenfeld station and consist of three distinct areas. This inspired us to create the street art piece as a classic triptych, a three-part painting.
The renowned Cologne musician Rolly Brings contributed his own design to the overall concept, which we then artistically rendered on the wall.
In the second part of the triptych, all the murdered young people of the Edelweiss group Ehrenfeld and the murdered forced laborers are honored by name.
The third part of the mural depicts the joy of life and defiance of the Edelweiss Pirates against the Nazi dictatorship, and also features old photographs of the young people from the Edelweiss group.
This memorial has since gained nationwide recognition, hosting numerous commemorative events and street art tours. Many people visit this site to remember the Edelweiss Pirates. We hope our street art piece further raises awareness of this important historical resistance group.

Our client, the University Hospital Cologne, commissioned us to artistically design a wall section 25 meters long and 3 meters high.
The once drab gray wall, which separates the Children's Hospital of the University of Cologne from the new building of the Max Planck Institute, was adorned by us with a colorful graffiti painting. The children of the oncology department at the University – Children's Hospital of Cologne now look upon a positive mural that inspires hope and courage.
