In the Schumacher Quartier, over 5,000 flats for more than 10,000 people are being built in a lively, urban environment. Innovative construction methods, a climate-neutral energy supply, high energy standards and new models for mobility will characterise the quarter. The technologies needed for this are largely being researched and developed next door on the site of the former Tegel Airport.

As with the neighbouring Urban Tech Republic research and industrial park, we are planning the lighting for the public streets and squares. Multifunctional light columns developed by us meet the requirements of the future-oriented and sustainable Smart City. These can be equipped in different ways and, in addition to lighting components, can accommodate technology for communication and security as well as e-charging stations.

The existing wall luminaires on the old market place in Stralsund (townhouses and city hall) were optimized and supplemented. The facade of the city hall was lit with exactitude using projection spotlights (see the project “Stadthaus”) and the church brightened with floodlights.

The light master plan covers the historic Berlin Mitte. The master plan was drawn up in such detail that the city and future planners will have direct information on the implementation. Now nearly ten years later, the master plan has been almost completely realized.

For the Siemens AG, a light master plan was developed for the 100th anniversary of the Siemensstadt in Berlin. This master plan highlighted the highly urban qualities of this quarter with light. As a first step, the building on the Rohrdamm received a new illumination of its facade.

In 1997, we developed a lighting system for a Litfass pillar that received a patent. Only in 2010 was it possible to begin serial production after advertising systems had improved in terms of quality and increased in price. A 70W, central metal vapor
lamp homogenously lights the placard surfaces.
