Project example Pforzheim – Renovation of the lighting system at Waisenhausplatz Pforzheim
The lighting at Waisenhausplatz in the centre of Pforzheim - Germany dated back to the 1990s and no longer met today's technical and energy requirements. The system consisted of individually designed masts, which were originally equipped with luminaires developed specifically for this location. These luminaires had a significant impact on the appearance of the square and were therefore an essential design element of the overall urban composition.
In the course of the renovation, the lighting system was comprehensively modernised, with particular emphasis on preserving the original design character. The aim was to develop luminaires that were visually identical to the original ones, preserving the historical design intent, but equipped with contemporary, energy-efficient LED technology.
The new lighting was designed to ensure standard-compliant, glare-free and uniform illumination of the square. Precisely coordinated LED optics are used, offering high light quality and optimal colour rendering. At the same time, energy consumption has been significantly reduced and the system's ease of maintenance improved.
The combination of technical innovation and a design in keeping with the historic building has resulted in a sustainable lighting concept that meets both functional and aesthetic requirements. Waisenhausplatz thus retains its characteristic atmosphere, while the lighting has been brought up to the latest technical standards.
