Who was Peter-Ernst Eiffe?
Peter-Ernst Eiffe, also known as "Eiffe, der Bär" was probably the first Graffiti artist in Germany. During the German student movement of May 1968, he distributed his messages all over Hamburg and became also known for entering the central station of Hamburg with a Fiat 600. On this occasion he was arrested and after a depression in 1970 retained in a psychiatric institution. Trying to escape from there in December 1982, he froze to death. His life was documented in a 1995 film with the title Eiffe for President - Alle Ampeln auf Gelb, named after one of his famous graffitis.
