You can’t catch the S-Bahn in Berlin without noticing the work of The THC Crew. Born & Raised in Berlin in the 90s, you’ll see their eponymous tag scattered everywhere throughout the city. If you do a quick Google search, you’ll soon realise that you’ve seen a lot more than just their tags, and quickly realise that the entire city is covered with their art.
The 1UP (One United Power) Crew, also hail from Berlin. 1UP are everywhere, and have definitely been embedded not only into Berlin’s Street Art scene, but also the city itself. Their claim to fame is tagging an entire U-Bahn Metro.
You’ll often find tags from non-local crews too, as they travel the world looking for fresh walls to paint. TCP are a crew from Paris and their letters are spread over Berlin, including this piece on part of the iconic Berlin Wall.
You don’t have to look very hard to find a heap of tags different crews have done all over Berlin, but a good tip is to to look in some obscure places like the top of high rise buildings, and take a moment to reflect on how the hell they did that!?
