130 years at Rothkegel: a dual cause for celebration!

As Thomas Rothkegel established the Rothkegel glassworks in 1880, in Falkenberg (Silesia), he certainly could not anticipate that he had laid a cornerstone for the future.

Nowadays, we have dual cause for celebration; the glassworks initially established in Falkenberg later grew to become a company which is nationally and internationally renowned in two distinct disciplines.

After all, in 1978, it was Michael Rothkegel (Thomas Rothkegel's great-grandson) who laid a further significant cornerstone for the company's future by establishing a light-fixture manufactory.

This is why we now invite you to celebrate with us!  :-)

Celebrate with us on 17 and 18 September 2010!

On 17.09.2010, our glassworks will be open to all interested visitors until 17:30, in the context of an Open House.

On 18.09.2010, we will present to our newsletter subscribers the opportunity for an exclusive guided tour of our glassworks from 8:00 to 9:30.
