Adorno-Ampel

Since 1987 the Adorno-Ampel is a traffic light that was named after Theodor W. Adorno in Frankfurt.[1] It has become one of Frankfurt's landmarks. The traffic light is on Senckenberganlage, a street which divides the Institute for Social Research from Goethe University Frankfurt. Adorno requested its construction after a pedestrian death in 1962, and it was finally installed 25 years later.[2]
