Ampelmännchen


One remnant of East Germany still thrives in the reunited Berlin of today -- the beloved Ampelmännchen.  These are the “little traffic light men” who tell you whether its safe to cross the street.  These signals were being replaced after reunification, and after a huge uproar and lengthy court battle, they have been kept.  They certainly have more character than saying Walk/Don’t Walk.
