In Germany there are nearly 40 sites inscribed
on the UNESCO World Heritage list, it is crowned
by the Berlin Museumsinsel (“Museum Island”), a
group that protects some of the best and most vis-
ited museums worldwide. Comprised of the Per-
gamon Museum (Pergamonmuseum), Old Museum
(Altes Musum) New Museum Berlin (Neues Muse-
um), Alte Nationalgalerie (Alte Nationalgalerie) and
the Bode Museum (Bode Museum), no visit to Berlin
can be complete without this tour.
As for souvenirs, Germany is full of them. Few
know that the teddy bear is a symbol of Berlin
and Germans in general, because in reality it is
an original creation of Margaret Steiff, German
designer of toys who created a line of stuffed
animals in 1880, including a teddy bear who later
was popularized by US President Theodore Roos-
evelt (hence the concept of Teddy bear).
Other souvenir that predominates is the Am-
pelmännchen, or the “traffic light man”. This char-
acter is so iconic, it even has its own store in the Ger-
man capital: Ampelmann Shop. Created in the 60s
by psychologist Karl Peglau for East German traffic
lights, the character of the hat was successful and
after the unification an attempted to remove the
traffic lights was made, causing demonstrations to
those who had retired, which was achieved in 2005.
“It is said that in communist Germany, the Am-
pelmann was the only worker who was happy to
work,” says a Berlin expression.
In addition, in Berlin cuckoo clocks from the
Black Forest are made by hand; originals come from
the region of Schonach, but also in Berlin can be eas-
ily found and as we know, the Germanwatchmaking
is excellent and there are many artisans who prac-
tice in this land.
