Walls have been used as canvases from the times of antiquity through the Middle Ages to the magnificent frescoes of the Renaissance and the ceiling paintings in Baroque churches. In terms of cultural history, the first murals or wall paintings can be dated back to cave paintings in the Stone Age. In socialist realism, murals were often used for propaganda purposes. These include the Molecule Man in the Spree and the mosaics on the outer walls of the Haus des Lehrers, which date back to GDR times.
