This piece was originally located on a different building that was torn down in 2010. The new owners of the property decided to save the mosaic and had it restored in 2018 at the cost of roughly €15,000.

This neon sign was supposeldy inspired the "Go West Cowboy" in Las Vegas. The advertisement in Leipzig was put under monument protection in 1993. You used to be able to send a paid text message to a number and the sign would light up for 3 minutes. Sadly that service was discontinued in 2025.

The display at th S-Bahn Station was part of the Berliner Festspiele which did art tours/discussions along the Ringbahn. They ran from 20.8 until 20.9 - but you can still read up on it here. www.berlinerfestspiele.de/what-if-berlin

If you go through the main entrance of the S-Bahn Greifswalder Str. you might have noticed this "new" mural. It's a replica of Walter Womackas "Wenn Kommunisten träumen" (When communists dream) from 1976, and was originally displayed in the Palast der Republik.
