Karl Peglau (18 May 1927 – 29 November 2009) was a German traffic psychologist who invented the iconic Ampelmännchen traffic symbols used in the former East Germany in 1961. The Ampelmännchen depicts a symbolic person on the red and green pedestrian traffic lights. Peglau wanted to create a traffic light that would be both appealing to children, yet easily accessible and understandable for elderly Germans. He deliberately designed the human figures, known as the Ampelmännchen, to be both creative and "cute".

  • 卡爾·佩格勞(德語:Karl Peglau,1927年5月18日-2009年11月29日),德國交通心理學家、工程師及設計師,在1961年創造了廣泛於前東德境內裝設的交通號誌小人(Ampelmännchen)。 佩格勞出身自德國與波蘭邊境的上勞西茨地區,自柏林洪堡大學畢業後曾任職於國家體育機構,自1957年起改行進入交通界服務、擔任了30餘年的交通心理學家。他參與東德的行人道路安全改善事業時,想要創造出一種同時能吸引孩童,又能讓年長者易於理解的交通號誌,因而刻意將燈號設計成人形圖案。該款號誌上路之後遂得到交通號誌小人之稱,在東德廣受歡迎,也是在鐵幕終結後少數存留下來、且風靡程度不減的東德特產之一,因而享有特殊的社會地位。愛好者們也用佩格勞的發明來象徵「東德情結」——對舊東德相關事物的懷念情緒。 晚年的佩格勞仍繼續從事交通號誌小人的設計工作。儘管兩德統一後的德國政府曾打算將德東地區的舊號誌汰換成與西德交通燈相同的款式,但在支持者們發起的運動下,不僅使佩氏的號誌於1997年得到保留,他本人甚至還替其創造衍生商品和紀念品,成為柏林的熱門遊客選購物。 (zh)

  • Karl Peglau (18 mai 1927 - 29 novembre 2009) était un psychologue de la circulation allemand qui a inventé les icônes Ampelmännchen trafic symboles utilisés dans l'ancienne Allemagne de l'Est en 1961. Le Ampelmännchen représente une personne symbolique sur les feux rouges et verts de piéton. Peglau voulait créer un feu qui serait à la fois attrayant pour les enfants, mais facilement accessible et compréhensible pour les Allemands âgés. Il a délibérément conçu les figures humaines, connues sous le nom d'Ampelmännchen, pour être à la fois créatif et "mignon". (fr)
