Adorno traffic light

The Adorno traffic light (German: Adorno-Ampel) is a traffic light artefact in Frankfurt, which has become one of the city's landmarks. The traffic light is located on Senckenberganlage, a street which divides the Institute for Social Research from Goethe University Frankfurt. Local intellectual figure Theodor W. Adorno requested its construction after a pedestrian death in 1962, and it was finally installed posthumously 25 years later.
