Waldkliniken Eisenberg

Perfect light for increased well-being

On the outskirts of Eisenberg, surrounded by trees in the hilly landscape of Thüringen, lies the largest Orthopedic University Hospital in Europe. The award-winning hospital enjoys an excellent reputation both nationally and internationally.

Designed by the pen of the reknowned Milanese architect Matteo Thun, the innovative building reflects the high standard required of the aesthetic and quality of stay. His credo: Bring nature inside. Healthy architecture and healthy interior design promote physical and mental well-being. Following this principle, the architecture and design studio created the new hospital building with hotel-quality comfort.

mawa illuminates nearly all areas of this sensational, circular construction. The building, flooded with light, is symbiotically supplemented with individual lighting concepts. Form, function and design are consistently the main focus, and mawa continually accompanies the process of implementation with advice and support.

»Guests« – patients and visitors alike – can sit together or eat in the bar, bistro, restaurant or piazza.Its coffered wooden ceiling represents the high standards of the materials used and the desire to integrate the theme of »forest« into the architectural language. mawa stages this special room with 25 pendant luminaires berliner ring. Consisting of two circular profiles, they accentuate the wooden ceiling as well as the tables below.

In addition to materials, a well-considered colour composition plays a special role in the building. Defined specifically for each floor, they are not only a design element but also part of the guidance system.

High-quality surfaces contribute to the aesthetics of the room. The luminaires from mawa fit seamlessly into this concept with their high quality standards and precise workmanship. Slim d28 rod pendant luminaires in chrome, wall luminaires from the wittenberg 4.0 series with brass rotary dimmers and spherical luminaires with metallised glasses emphasise the scene. The light colours were determined according to use.

The two project-specific versions of the berliner ring 1 pendant luminaire provide the best light in the synagogue. Consisting of two filigree profiles each, separated by a shadow gap, they convince with homogeneous light emission upwards and downwards.
The five-metre-long luminaires were manufactured in one piece, which gives them a particularly even surface without segmentations. The lighting intensity can be regulated in a user-friendly way via DALI and adapted to the respective situation.

Patients of the Jewish faith can now also fully practise their religion during their hospital stay. The new synagogue is located in the innovative ward round building and complements the interdenominational prayer room in the existing building.
