Current Goal

The goal for "Ampel" is to travel far and wide, at some point be back in Berlin where he was purchased and then continue his travels for as long as he lives. You might consider posting pictures of pedestrian traffic light symbols when you find Ampel since they are different all over the world.

About This Item

Green Means Go

I picked up this guy in Berlin in June 2010. "Ampel" means traffic light in German. The figures represent "go" and "stop" for pedestrians at intersections. My understanding is that the design was created by Karl Peglau in 1961 to be used in then East Berlin. After reunification in 1990, the symbols were kept and allowed to be used all over Germany.

Seems to be an appropriate cache for this TB. Sorry we held on to it for so long - working weekends stopped us geocaching recently. Hopefully it will now travel more frequently.

We have had this coin for quite some time, unfortunately working weekends put a stop to our local area geocaching trips, so we decided to take it with us during a 5 day journey to some of the more distant caches here in Saudi Arabia. This cache was last visited in June 2006, so we did not want to leave the coin there, instead just visited it and we will place it in a busier cache asap.
