The painted transformer station on Gelsenkirchener Straße at the Zollverein site was decorated in the summer of 2005. It was a cooperative project between the energy company RWE (as the owner/operator of the station) and students from the Gustav-Heinemann-Gesamtschule (a comprehensive school in Essen-Schonnebeck).
In 2013 I started with a new hobby. In the beginning it was difficult to get reliable information how to find streetart in public space. In 2016, I had the idea of sharing my information with other street art enthusiasts and started my blog “Streetartwalks”. When I found out about this new street art community at the beginning of 2018, I was immediately on board.
