Why was there a disagreement in Germany on the stoplight?

I don't know if this is the right answer to your question, but there was a controversy about which Ampelmaennchen to use. Ampelmaennchen are the symbolic person shown on traffic lights. There are three different types in Germany, the East Ampelmaennchen (female and male) used in the GDR, the West and the modern type.The east Ampelmaennchen is much loved and it's one of the most recognizable symbols for the GDR. People don't want to loose it and don't want it replaced by either of the other two. The decision on which type to use is made by the fedeal state.Here's the GDR Ampelmaennchenhttp:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ampelmaenner.jpgthe West German typehttp:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ampelmaennchen_West.jpgand the modern typehttp:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ampelmaennchen_Pan.jpgI guess the GDR Ampelmaennchen is just more loveable and it's also part of Ostalgie (a word meaning nostalgia for East Germany) http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostalgie


Who were Germany's allies during the Berlin Wall time period?

In 1949 the Western Allies established the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG, aka as West Germany) and a few months later the Soviet Union set up the German Democratic Republic (GDR, aka as East Germany). Very quickly the two Germanies were integrated with their respective blocs. In the mid 1950s the FRG became a member of NATO and the GDR became a member of the Warsaw Pact. This should answer the question about allies. Within 11 months of the Fall of the Wall, the two Germanies reunited with the approval of the West and East in October 1990. Joncey
