Street Art in Mümmelmannsberg

Hamburg's Most Diverse Neighborhood

With more than 150 works of art, guided walks, a street art scavenger hunt, and even a public piano, Mümmelmannsberg is a huge open-air gallery that you can explore in all sorts of ways. We’ll show you why a trip to eastern Hamburg is well worth it. 🎨

Hamburg has art halls, galleries, and museums—but sometimes the most exciting art is right there on the next building wall. In Mümmelmannsberg, more than 150 works of street art are scattered throughout the neighborhood: from small installations and hidden paste-ups to stencil graffiti and huge murals that cover entire building facades.

The best part? You can head out anytime, don’t need a ticket, and get to decide for yourself how you want to explore the open-air gallery. You can join a guided tour, explore the neighborhood on your own with your smartphone during a street art scavenger hunt, or even play a few notes yourself at the sculpture courtyard. That’s quite a lot of art for a single outing, isn’t it?

More than 150 works of art right in the heart of the neighborhood

In Mümmelmannsberg, it’s worth letting your gaze wander—and not just upward. Some works catch your eye from a distance, while others are hidden on small metal plates, walls, or in passageways. That’s exactly what makes the walk so enjoyable: it feels a bit like a treasure hunt. Along the way, you’ll encounter a wide variety of styles. Large-scale animal motifs sit alongside socially critical stencil art, and delicate paste-ups stand next to colorful installations. International street art greats like DZIA from Belgium, TABBY from Austria, and Jeff Gillette from the U.S. are represented here, as are artists from Hamburg and Germany—including Fritten Freddie, Neal, seiLeise, Strassenmaid, and Bona_Berlin.The art isn’t confined to a single exhibition space. It winds its way through residential streets, courtyards, passageways, and public squares. So as you search for the artworks, you’ll automatically get to know Mümmelmannsberg. Win-win!

On Your Own: A Street Art Rally with an Element of Discovery

Want to just set out and see where the art takes you? On this self-guided street art rally, you can explore Mümmelmannsberg using an interactive map on your smartphone. The artworks are scattered throughout the entire neighborhood—some are easy to spot, while others are quite well hidden.

While you’re out and about, be sure to look for the QR codes on the artworks. They’ll tell you more about each piece and the artists behind them. Feel free to take your time: if you just keep your eyes straight ahead, you’re guaranteed to miss some of the best discoveries. The scavenger hunt works just as well as a group outing with friends as it does with family.

Our tip: Start right at the Mümmelmannsberg subway station. Take the U2 to the last stop, and once you get off, you’ll practically be right in the middle of the open-air gallery.

With Background Information: Guided Street Art Walks

Want to know how the works were created, what stories lie behind them, and why they can be found in these exact locations? Then join a guided street art walk. On these tours, you’ll not only get background information on the artists and their works, but you’ll also learn more about the neighborhood itself. In 2026, a total of five guided tours will be offered. The walks are a great way to discover pieces you might have walked right past on your own—and to get to know Mümmelmannsberg from a whole new perspective.

From a picture search to a massive open-air gallery

It all started on a much smaller scale: In 2021, the first street art rally kicked off in Mümmelmannsberg. More than 50 works by six artists were installed in the neighborhood at that time. The idea behind it was simple and quite lovely: art should be taken out of enclosed spaces and placed where people live, meet, and go about their daily lives. To mark Mümmelmannsberg’s 50th anniversary, the project entered its next phase in 2022. About 70 new works were added—including, for the first time, a large mural by the Belgian artist DZIA. In 2023, the open-air gallery expanded once again. There are now more than 150 works to discover. New works were also created right on site in the years that followed. At the 2024 Art Festival, for example, visitors were able to watch Dave the Chimp create a new mural on Feiningerstraße. The open-air gallery is therefore not a static exhibition, but one that is constantly changing and expanding.

Truly impressive: The murals by DZIA

Some of the most striking works in Mümmelmannsberg are by DZIA. The Belgian artist is known for his large-scale animal motifs, which are composed of countless curved and circular lines. As a result, his birds and rabbits appear lively, graphic, and almost a little dreamy all at once.

The group of rabbits at the Mümmelmannsberg meeting point is particularly impressive. The motif couldn’t be a better fit for the neighborhood: Several giant rabbits peer down from the facades, truly doing justice to their location. You’ll also come across animals rendered in DZIA’s distinctive visual style on smaller walls and in passageways.

Camera Heads and Little Surprises from Fritten Freddie

Not every highlight takes up an entire wall. The Hamburg-based artist Fritten Freddie also creates works on small metal plates and other inconspicuous surfaces. A recurring motif: figures with a camera in place of their head.

On your walk, you may come across these camera heads in a wide variety of sizes—sometimes as small, almost hidden works close to the ground, sometimes as large, dancing figures against a red background. This fits quite well with the character of the entire open-air gallery: taking a closer look is rewarded.

Giraffe with a Handbag: TABBY Brings Humor to the Wall

TABBY’s work also sticks in your mind. The Austrian street artist often works with high-contrast stencils and combines familiar images with surprising details. In Mümmelmannsberg, for example, a giraffe carrying a handbag and wearing high heels struts through a passageway.Many of his works seem humorous at first glance but often have a deeper meaning. Small figures, oversized symbols, and absurd situations transform gray walls into short visual stories. One glance—and you’ll find yourself lingering longer than you planned.

Here, you can play yourself: the street art piano at the Skulpturenhof

In Mümmelmannsberg, street art isn’t just something to look at—it’s also something to play with: Through mid-September, a street art piano designed by the artist KRASHKID for the neighborhood will be on display at the Skulpturenhof and open to the public. As a special highlight during the summer months, it invites everyone to sit down and play a few notes themselves. 🎹

Starting in mid-September, the piano will be moved to the art and music project “1,000 Stones” in Mümmelmannsberg and will no longer be open to the public for the time being. So if you’d like to add your own soundtrack to your street art walk, you should stop by beforehand.

Colorful, loud, and creative: the 2026 Street Art Festival

On August 15, 2026, the sculpture courtyard on Kandinskyallee became an open street art space. During the street art festival, the entire afternoon was all about color, beats, and getting creative together.

The festival once again beautifully demonstrated what the open-air gallery is all about: art here isn’t meant to remain at a distance, but rather to take place right in the heart of the neighborhood and be accessible to as many people as possible. Through street art, music, and hands-on activities, visitors were able to experience Mümmelmannsberg in a creative way—and set out on guided walks to see the artworks right in the neighborhood.

Even though the festival for 2026 is already over, the art will, of course, remain. You can explore the open-air gallery for free all year round.

So, when are you heading to Mümmelmannsberg?

Mümmelmannsberg shows that a neighborhood itself can become a gallery. Nestled among residential buildings, green spaces, and public squares, more than 150 works of art are waiting for you to discover them. Some are huge, others barely bigger than a street sign—and that’s exactly why the search is so much fun.

Whether you’re using a guide, a scavenger hunt, and a smartphone map, or just keeping your eyes open: Be sure to set aside a little extra time for your visit. Chances are good that you’ll stay longer than you expected. And if you happen to pass by the Skulpturenhof along the way, you now know where to play the perfect soundtrack for your outing. 💛
