Light tower: event location in Solingen

The light tower is a unique, tangible place in Solingen Gräfrath - on the edge of the nature reserve. It is the extraordinary showroom for the lighting collection from the company Licht im Raum Dinnebier GmbH. Handcrafted lamps, which are manufactured in our own factory in Wuppertal, are representatively exhibited here. The light tower is also a popular conference location for professional events from culture, business and public life. A variety of cultural and scientific events regularly take place in the tower.

The light tower is a former water tower in Solingen-Gräfrath, located on the edge of a nature reserve. The tower's former water reservoir is now a light-flooded glass dome hall from which the view extends far over the Bergisches Land. The lower floors serve as a showroom for the regionally and sustainably manufactured lighting collection from the company Licht im Raum. With its glass crown rising above the treetops, the light tower has become a well-known landmark in Solingen. The upper floor can be booked as an event location.

The light tower in Solingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, is a converted, former water tower. It is located in the Gräfrath district near the highest point in the city of Solingen at approximately 276 meters above sea level. Due to its previous function, it still bears the unofficial name of the Graefrath Water Tower. The tower was built in 1904, shut down in 1983 and rebuilt in the mid-1990s.
