AMPELMANN, literally means, "Little traffic light man. Which is the figure that appears on the stops lights when it is time to cross or to wait. What this shop has done is to make that symbol into icon. Meaning, this shop has so much of everything that features Amplemann, or more correctly, Ampelmännchen, that it is hard to believe. The moment you walk into this shop what you will find is a little bit of everything using this man as the main focus. It's really fun and cool. I mean, this shop really has it all: tee-shirts, cups, glasses, plates, pillows, umbrellas, you name it... Pretty much anything you can think of featuring an Amplemann they have it for sale. Plus, even, The Hoff, David Hasselhoff has visited this shop as they have his photo on the wall taken inside the shop. This is an open and airy shop and the staff is always happy to help you. So, if you want to find that really unique gift or that something-something for yourself, this is the place to go. read more

AMPELMANN - Interior - Souvenir Shops Near Me - Berlin, BE

I fell in love with this former Ossi cultural icon. I watched small children throughout our time in Berlin, imitate the red hands-out, on street corners and I became hooked with their joy. And.... "der Ampelmann laden" became my ultimate gift shop while we were here. How can anyone not like this wee little fellow? Everything was organized inside and they even have an espresso cafe!! read more

Super cute shop! My son was obsessed! They offer ALMOST everything; he wanted pajama pants and they don't do those. And when we asked the shop workers thought we were crazy. So without the pajamas pants my son settled for a sweatshirt. When you find the style and size you want, you try on the floor model then they give you a new one at checkout. (A new concept for my son.) read more

A common quiz for Berlin visitors: How do you know you are in former East Berlin? Answer: look at the traffic light. If you see a traffic man dressed up like he's hurrying to an important business meeting, welcome to the other side of the wall. The cute icon, a beloved symbol in Eastern Germany, now has its own shops all over Berlin. This one on Unter den Linden, is the flagship store, at the corner that the first traffic lights with the original Ampelmännchen were installed. Clothes, stationaries, bags, accessories, kitchenware, snacks... anything they can put the logo on, they sell it. Things on the pricy side but you can always find something within your budget. They even sell coffee, which is great on a cold day. read more

So you see the bear everywhere. The Berlin bear in his funny little get ups and at tourist stops. But someone told me the "cool" souvenirs are from Ampelmann. It's a neat little store with cool design and good merchandising. They have literally everything in the mans design. I mean everything. I got a safety vest for my oldest son and socks for me. Fun, silly, and so Berlin! read more

Too funny! I noticed Ampelmann the first day in Berlin, telling me whether to walk or stay still. The signs are really cute so I took photos of each one while walking around the city. Lo and behold, they have stores that sell these two signs! I know that sounds silly, but you will only see these figures Berlin, no where else in the world. Of course, I had to buy some items for my own souvenirs from the trip! All kinds of items, from clothing to school supplies to kitchen stuff. The staff were courteous and helpful without being intrusive. Go check it out while in Berlin- you will definitely find yourself smiling! read more

Just too cute to bypass....only in Germany. Bought 4 adult sweaters and 1 children's long-sleeved top with the go logo at the front and stop logo at the back. Glad I did, no regret at all. Couldn't resist to buy the go and stop fridge magnets. read more

Ampleman is the crossing guard on electric street signs which tells whether to stop or go. He's only found in former East Berlin, the city was going to do away w/ him after reunification and there was strong public protest to keep him. And, now there are souvenir shops. If that isn't marketing genius, I don't know what is?! Merchandise: clothing for adults, kiddos, babies! Stickers, keychains, napkins, Kleenex, water bottles, writing utensils, gummy candy. If they don't have it, you don't need it, lol. read more

Cool little shop with tons of merchandise with the Ampelmannschen (little traffic light guy) that they used in East Berlin and kept even after unification. Yes it's touristy, that's the point. When you're looking for some gifts for your kids or friends and aren't going to splurge on some handmade craft or art or local clothing, this is the kind of place you can get a keychain, serving plate, t-shirt, postcard, etc with a little bit of the local flavor of Berlin. read more
