Traffic lights in Germany

Some pictures of traffic lights, which I happened to notice during a visit to Germany. An ordinary part of modern urban outdoors in medium/large cities, but personalized at some locations, sometimes for a period of time.

Mainzelmännchen Traffic Light
Frankfurt Football Traffic Light
A character from the Mainzelmännchen cartoon character series in the old city of Mainz, the capital of Rhineland Palatinate, across the river from Frankfurt. On the right is a grey day in Frankfurt, outside the main train station, the Hauptbahnhof, with traffic lights celebrating European football.

Karl Marx Green
Karl Marx Red
Trier in the Rhineland Palatinate, quite near the French border, is the birthplace of Karl Marx. These lights are across the museum about his life.
Saarlodri Traffic Light
Saarlodri, another cartoon character, this time in the city of Saarbrücken, the capital of the state of Saarland, in the southwest of Germany.
