Scratching (English: ton scratch -) designates the intentional Zerkratzen of glass scratches -, plastics - or color surfaces. Thereby windowpanes of public means of transport, like courses, are particularly concerned streetcars and penalties. One scratches usually with (sharpen) stones, Sandpapier or measurers. Usually thereby tags are left similarly as with the Graffiti.

End of the 1990er arose it and thereafter from individual areas over the whole federal territory spread for the first time. Particularly in Berlin it is such a widespread phenomenon the fact that the transporting enterprises changed over to cover for glass areas with transparent foil which against destruction protects the actual Fensterglas. In regular intervals the foils are taken off and replaced by new, bspw. the rapid-transit railway Berlin GmbH plans the exchange of all zerkratzten foils/disks in time to the soccer world championship 2006. 2003 was exchanged by the rapid-transit railway Berlin 2,325 zerkratzte disks.

Scratching than Streetart is partly regarded, mostly however than Vandalismus or damage. Legal Scratching is very rare contrary to legal Graffiti.
