LION FLEISCHMAN

Werksviertel

Lion has played an active role in Munich's graffiti scene, participating in events and making contributions such as the Stop Bombing Civilians mural. In 2022, he proposed transforming a brick building next to the Königsplatz playground into a mural to counter illegal graffiti and enhance the area.

Based on the broken window theory, according to which there is a connection between the decay of urban areas and crime he believes:

“The more fucked up something looks, the less inhibited people are to make it even more filthy.”

He himself has been creating works of art with spray cans for years and is firmly convinced that he could enhance the whole area in this way. “The people who spend time here would benefit from it.” Experience, for example with the painted SWM building, also shows that works of art are not simply sprayed over.

“If there's a great picture, then the protection of the scene's internal code of honor kicks in.”

FOOTBALL

Having two major Bundesliga football clubs in Munich, the TSV 1860 and FC Bayern, evidently two fan bases exist.

FC Bayern Munich, founded in 1900, is Germany’s most successful club, having won over 30 Bundesliga titles and 6 UEFA Champions League trophies.

TSV 1860 Munich, established in 1860, is one of Germany’s oldest clubs and has a passionate local fanbase. Bayern plays at the iconic Allianz Arena, while 1860 shares the stadium but also uses the smaller stadium at Grünwalderstraße for some matches. 1860 Munich won the Bundesliga in 1966 but has since spent much of its time in lower divisions. The 1860 fanbase is defined by the slogan Einmal Löwe, immer Löwe (Once a Lion, Always a Lion), reflecting deep loyalty despite the club’s struggles. Their white-and-blue kits and lion crest symbolize a gritty, working-class identity tied to Munich’s Giesing district, where their historic Grünwalder Stadion is located.

FC Bayern’s global, success-driven fanbase contrasts with 1860’s local, community-focused supporters. Bayern fans are often seen as bandwagon or corporate, while 1860 fans pride themselves on loyalty through adversity, viewing themselves as Munich’s “true” club.
