The Lindenplatz in Hamburg's St. Georg district, a city landmark and also the place the German company Siemens is based, has recently been redesigned with LED solutions by the company in collaboration with the city of Hamburg as well as some local businesses.

The lighting manufacturer OSRAM, part of Siemens' industry business unit, has provided the LED lighting modules used in the project.

At night, the facade of Siemens' office building and the square are immersed in colorful lights emitted from the 70-metre long OSRAM LED band. The installed RGBLED modules are capable of showing around 16 million different colors. Additionally, two water features with cascades on the side of the square are also illuminated with LEDs. And Nautilus Midi Ostar LED built-in floor lights were used to mark the driveway up to the Siemens building and highlight the five linden trees on the eponymous square.

LED modules by OSRAM immerse the Siemens office on Hamburg’s Lindenplatz in alternating colours

The local company Göpotec supplied a total of 80 Linearlight-Dragon Colormix individual circuit boards (LD18A-RGB) with 14x22° lens attachments for the facade lighting alone set in specially produced lamps and combined to make a light band. The Linearlight-Dragon Colormix modules by OSRAM are ideal for dynamic color applications and lighting effects in architecture. Their lens attachments, which are also used on Lindenplatz, enable impressive wall-wash effects and coved lighting.

The 18 Golden Dragon high-performance LEDs (six each in red, green and blue) per module provide intensive colour effects. The LED lamps come with OT 75 E 24V-Optronic ballasts and OTi Dali DIM Dali Easy II control units. They make the harmonious change in colors possible. OSRAM's Easy Color control software allows the light to be designed and controlled in the process.

The Lindenplatz makeover adds even more value to the St. Georg district. Apart from the new lighting system, the square was also surfaced in granite and had new benches and more hedges added. What was once a dark street corner has not only become a bright and ingeniously lit square but an inviting place for local residents to spend time in and enjoy.
