THE FORCE 

Legendary crew that started in the winter of 1983 with the main crew members Anakim, Blash, Anubis and Loomit. The crew sprayed in the north of Munich, mainly in the university district of Schwabing and in Freimann.
"The group has sprayed a large number of outstanding and masterful pieces that are based on the visual and formal language of the New York masterpiece. [...] became widely known and was one of the best European groups."
(Peter Kreuzer, Graffiti Lexikon, p. 384)

Some of the crew members were part of the Geltendorfer Zug. This led the police to initially suspect a terrorist group called "The Force" during their investigation.


THEORIE DES STYLE

Die Befreiung des Alphabets / The Liberation of the Alphabet

Theorie des Style was a book which originally got published to the occasion of the A Tribute to Style exhibition at the Kallmann Museum near Munich in 1996. Cheech and Don, had exchanged letters and thoughts on style already for years at that point. Together with Cemnoz they published the first in-depth analysis of letter forms, style writing, and its origins. In 2024, the book was published for the second time in German and for the first time in English.

The ARTE TV documentary series, The Rise of Graffiti Writing, was curated by Lars from Copenhagen and directed by René Kästner, who is known for his podcasts and blog at ilovegraffiti.de. The series explores the history of graffiti writing, focusing on the movement in NYC and Europe during the '80s and '90s. It features interviews with prominent artists and never-before-published film footage. Some parts cover writers who were active in Munich at that time, including Shoe, Loomit, Don M, Zaza, Neon, Sene, Daim and CanTwo.

THE SUBWAY ROCKERS

IG @thesubwayrockers

The Subway Rockers, a pioneering graffiti crew founded in the mid 80s, known for their artistic pieces on the city's subway's system. Founded by Zope, WON and Cowboy69 and Sonic, the TSR Crew grew from a small group of rebellious graffiti writers into one of Munich's most legendary artistic crews. Their iconic train pieces remain unforgettable - bold works that stood out on the subway lines and left a lasting mark on the city.
In 1988, Cowboy69 and Won ABC co-founded the ABC Crew for legal projects, but TSR kept its underground roots. Their trains are legendary and their impact still echoes today.

TUMBLINGER STREET

Tumblingerstrasse is widely known as an important hub for street art and graffiti, located in the Schlachthof district next to Bahnwärter Thiel. Since the mid-1980s it has been a relevant meeting place for artists - and since the early 1990s it has become an internationally known legal hall of fame. Regular spray events such as the Neujahresverchromung take place (and the surrounding areas Thalkirchnerstraße, Viehhof and Bahnwärter Thiel) with local and international artists.
