Berlin: Ampelmann gummi candy

Best edible souvenirs Ampelmann sweets

This fruity confectionery may not be the showiest souvenir, but it combines two famous icons -- gummi candy and Ampelmann, the hat-wearing East German pedestrian traffic signal from the days when Berlin was divided in two.

Outlasting the city's communist regime, Ampelmann remains a mascot of Berlin.

You can find Ampelmann-shaped gummi candy in souvenir shops as well as Ampelmann Berlin Souvenir Shop (Hackesche Höfe, Hof 5, Berlin; +49 30 44726438), which is dedicated to the traffic light figure.
