GERMANY: Streetart Berlin – Wedding – Fabrik23 – Creativity Meets Industrial Heritage

The FABRIK 23 is a former factory over 100 years old, hidden in a typical Berlin backyard, an authentic, not „over-renovated“ industrial ambience that cannot even be found in this form in the city. When the factory building with an area size of 16.500 qm was bought some years ago by a billionaire from New York who was interested in art, it was partly empty. Meanwhile, the factory has turned into a place that was even featured in the New York Times. A place where businesses, craftsmen, artists and creative companies find a home. And of course Graffiti and Streetart! Check out the artworks in the huge archive.
