Hustadt-Leuchten always produced high quality lamps. You can find a few lamps on this website. Hustadt-Leuchten received several design awards, all for lamps designed by Klaus Hempel.

Hustadt

Hustadt is also a small German town that was build in the late 1960s as a model neighbourhood according to the general urban standards, to fulfil the requirements for approximately 6000 inhabitants. The town is build on the edge of the city of Bochum. It’s surrounded by woods and fields on the one side, and offshoots of the enormous campus of the Ruhr University, as well as other housing areas on the other side.
