    • Brandenburg Gate

      Project

      A milestone for Kardorff Ingenieure Lighting Design: first place in the 2000 competition for the illumination of the Brandenburg Gate, the national symbol of Germany’s history. After completion in 2002, one of the most-photographed monuments could finally be captured in uniform light color. The lighting emphasizes the gate as the most important structure on Pariser Platz and strengthens its silhouette in the long axis stretching from the Tiergarten all the way to the historic center of Berlin.

    • Martins Church Kassel

      Project

      St. Martin's Church in Kassel is the seat of the Bishop of Kurhessen-Waldeck. The church is frequently used for events and thus requires highly flexible options for lighting the interior of the church. At the same time, the simple lighting from the 1950s, which had come to be well loved, was to be retained at the congregation's request.
      The solution combined the old glass pendant luminaires with new, freely adjustable LED spotlights on the cross vaults to illuminate the stage and alter room, the organ and special works of art.
