Arnsberg (Province) Germany

The city of Arnsberg and the larger area around Arnsberg is and has been the center of the German and International lighting industry for a long time. It goes back to the time before electricity was available, to the time of the petroleum lamps around 1830. A significant number of factories producing petroleum lamps and parts started in the Arnsberg Stadtteil of Neheim. With electricity becoming available after 1890, the factories adapted and started to make electric lighting fixtures and lamps. The most famous factory was the Kaiser factory, which already in the twenties and thirties of the last century provided lighting fixtures and lamps to a worldwide market.
