Graffiti Workshop Munich: Process & Group Sizes

At Bahnwärter Thiel in Munich's Schlachthofviertel, a current client lettering has been on the wall since this summer, sprayed by the team of an international company. Drone shots show the finished surface, followed by a breakdance session right in front of their own piece. That is a good starting point to clarify how a graffiti workshop as a team event actually works in this city.

Anyone in HR, office management or executive assistance who plans a team event in Munich usually asks the same questions: Does the location suit the group size? How does the day actually run? How much lead time does the booking need? This guide answers them using this date and the key facts we work with.

The date: a company team event at Bahnwärter Thiel

Bahnwärter Thiel is on Tumblinger Straße in the Schlachthofviertel, in the Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt district, on the grounds of the former cattle yard. Since the end of 2017 the site has been permanently available for cultural and creative use and is one of the best-known legal graffiti walls in the city, a so-called hall of fame. For this summer team event that was the setting: graffiti on the wall, drone photos for documentation and, to close, a breakdance session in front of the finished artwork.

For planning, that means: with Bahnwärter Thiel, Munich has a central, easy-to-reach location where a company artwork can be created legally and against a real street art backdrop, instead of in an interchangeable workshop.

Group size: what actually fits

Our graffiti workshop in Munich is designed for 10 to 1,000 participants. That covers the small leadership team as well as the large company party. With larger groups, several small teams usually work in parallel on different sections of the wall, as far as the space at Bahnwärter Thiel allows.

- Small team (10-30 people): one shared artwork, everyone sprays the same motif

- Medium group (30-100 people): several sections, each small group is responsible for one letter or element

- Large company party (100+ people): several stations in parallel, with correspondingly more support on site

What counts for internal planning: give the number of participants as early as possible so that the surface, team split and material can be planned to fit.

Process and duration

A workshop date with us takes 2 to 3 hours, with room for shorter or longer slots depending on the programme around it. At Bahnwärter Thiel the process starts with an introduction to technique and safety before the team realises the motif piece by piece. A programme item afterwards, such as a breakdance session, can be added to the format without changing the core process.

Weather and the indoor question

Graffiti is a deliberately outdoor format with us. The wall, the light and the city are part of the experience, and that is exactly what makes dates like the one at Bahnwärter Thiel possible. For planning in Munich this means: a rainy day does not move a finished concept, but it is a factor you should keep in mind when choosing the date. If you want to be on the safe side, combine the graffiti element with action painting, which runs both indoors and outdoors with us.

Planning certainty: cancellation and response time

We answer an enquiry within 24 hours with a commitment you can rely on, so you can keep planning internally. If you cancel a booked surface up to 30 days before the date, it is free of charge for you; after that the full amount falls due. Both key facts are often the first internal question for budget approval. Good to know them in advance instead of having to look for them in the quote.

What you can show your team

A mural like this artwork is more than a photo of the team event: it stays publicly visible, can be documented by drone shot and so also provides material for internal communication or employer branding content afterwards. For justifying the budget to management or finance, that is an argument that goes beyond pure team fun: a visible result instead of an afternoon that only leaves memories.

Companies such as Lingoda, eBay, Toyota and wefox have already worked with us. That shows the range: smaller teams as well as international corporations work with the same format. More projects are shown in our references from Munich.
