Ampelmann



In Berlin they have something that they call the ampelmann. The ampelmann is like the walk/don't walk sign in America, but in Berlin it's a little person. Actually, it's one of the few remnants of East Germany, that's now spread across all of Berlin. For some reason, tourists in Berlin find this little guy fascinating once they learn about it's history...including us. In fact, it's so popular, they even have several tourists stores that sell only ampelmann related items.
