This Odd Sign




... is right near Museum Island, on the Spree River, in the middle of Berlin. Kampfmittel means explosives, so the sign is an international message to boat pilots on the river: "Don't drop anchor here, and no sportfishing. Bombs."

Okay, I'm officially embarrassed. I know just where that is, but somehow I missed the Kampfmittel sign. Good eyes!
 
wow, ima go and look for that myself...that is pretty ungerman though isnt it? you'd think they would take the sign off...unless there are still bombs down there...
 
I think maybe there are.
