      Nope it’s legal. §303 StGB:

      Whoever, without being authorised to do so, substantially and permanently alters the appearance of an object belonging to another […]

      Projections are far from permanent. What I’m blanking on right now is whether cleaning something is captured under that wording, I vaguely remember them discussing changing it, dunno if they have. If a wall is dirty enough you can make a great graffito with nothing but a pressure washer.

            You say it could be illegal and then quote a law that talks about sometime else. I have no idea why you would do that.

            Oh sorry I misread legal as illegal. My bad.

        Yes. You can even use a swastika if the intend is clear. For example a figure throwing it into a trashcan.

        I’m not a lawyer, but the word “Heil” ist not forbidden and Also its a picture of something relevant that happened. So in my opinion the Art itself is not illegal. Only the projection onto the building.

        Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
