stgLicht - Who We Are

Your Lighting Specialist in Krefeld

stglicht GmbH is an owner-managed family business, now in its 5th generation of the Gotzes family. Our specialty is developing custom lighting for special construction projects throughout Germany and beyond.

We see ourselves as partners for architects, engineers, and lighting designers – we convert ideas and specifications into marketable products. We focus on high-quality craftsmanship in implementation, offering artfully manufactured quality lighting products with every item we produce.

The stglicht team develops and produces all special lighting systems and luminaires in our in-house lighting technology department and manufacturing facility. From Krefeld, we work on lighting design projects throughout Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the Benelux countries, with representatives across Germany.

Sustainability and Responsibility

We understand sustainability as an integral part of our work. For us, it means creating values that last for decades. That is why we develop and manufacture durable, repairable, and energy-efficient lighting solutions that are designed for lasting value preservation rather than short-term replacement.

Especially in the public and cultural sector, we support the renovation and modernization of existing lighting systems. These are often listed luminaires whose external appearance is to be preserved. By carefully modernizing the interior and converting to contemporary LED technology, we maintain the design character and at the same time lead the luminaire into a sustainable future.

A special example of this are luminaires that we ourselves developed and manufactured more than 20 years ago and that are now being restored and converted to LED technology by us. This form of further development saves resources, avoids unnecessary material use, and extends the lifespan of the luminaires for many more years.

Converting from halogen to LED generally reduces electricity consumption by 80 to 90 percent and extends the lifespan of the light source from approximately 1,000–2,000 to up to 25,000–50,000 operating hours. For us, sustainability therefore does not mean renunciation, but responsible further development and the preservation of existing values. As a climate partner of the city of Krefeld, we are also actively committed to sustainable and future-oriented corporate development.

History

The roots of the company, founded in 1905, lie in velvet and silk weaving. The founder, Hubert Gotzes, established the company's reputation with artfully crafted vestments for parishes and dioceses worldwide. Examples of these vestments are now exhibited in the House of Silk Culture in Krefeld (historic vestment weaving mill Hubert Gotzes).

Since 1991, the luminaires have been manufactured in our own workshop. Our strength lies in in-house design and production in the tradition of craftsmanship.

With the renaming to stglicht GmbH (2010), our company is now entirely focused on lighting projects. stglicht equips an average of over 200 projects annually in the sacred sector alone. This makes us the nationwide market leader in this specific sector. In addition, numerous lighting concepts and light art in the public sector have been visualized and realized.
