The graffiti featuring the words “WELCOME TO ST. GEORG” is located on the wall of the Heinrich Wolgast School in Hamburg’s St. Georg district.

The green dragon is a reference to the legend of Saint George, the dragon slayer after whom the district is named. Nowadays, the dragon is an established local mascot.

The inscription in the top left is “arik & die Schulsprecherkinder 2026”. Behind this pseudonym is the Hamburg-based graffiti artist Jan Arik Franz. He is part of the city’s urban art scene and regularly leads graffiti workshops for children and young people. For this project, he collaborated with the school’s student representatives.
