Cyrill Schäfer, Father of St. Ottilien Monastery in Upper Bavaria, invited twelve graffiti and street art artists in 2012 to get creative on around 1000 square meters of wall space as part of “heaven meets earth - Himmel trifft Erde”. They included Cone & Nychos from The Weird, Herakut, Loomit, Flying Förtress, M-City from Poland, Interesni Kazki from Ukraine, EWG and Scheme from Russia.
St. Ottilien is located very close to the Geltendorf trainstation, which became famous in 1985 when the first whole car was painted by seven young artists. One of them was Loomit, who captured the Geltendorf train and the year 1985 as a souvenir in his picture at the bottom left.
