I live in a German village on the outskirts of Wiesbaden (probably 2 km away). We were always 'safe' from graffiti that you'd see in town.
It is a remarkable thing that people would have walked around in the mid-1980s, and never saw a bit of graffiti on any building in Wiesbaden. Somewhere in the early 1990s....it became a regular thing to notice.
Today? I would guess within Wiesbaden, the city itself, there's probably in the range of 3,000 'acts' of graffiti. Some artfully done....some just 1-star crap.
Well....this week, the first graffiti ever.....appeared in my village. In the midst of town, on the side of some restaurant, it appeared. A big deal? For most, they were probably waiting for the day to come.
