Holtkotter Lighting - Chandeliers, Vanity Lighting, Ceiling Lights and more

Holtkötter was founded by Schlossermeister Franz Holtkötter in 1964 in the town of Bad Waldliesborn located in the heart of Westphalia, Germany. Since that time and under his guidance, we have produced lighting fixtures and lamps using true manu-facturing methods that are steeped in the German "Handwerkstradition" (Craft tradition).

Over time the company grew to encompass three locations. The toolmaking, milling, stamping, and the various finishing departments are still located in Bad Waldliesborn, while the lacquering, assembly, packing and shipping departments are located in the neighboring town of Liesborn.

For the American market, the assembly, distribution, and the corresponding administration departments were first established in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in 1983 on the banks of the Mississippi River and expanded in South Saint Paul in 1995 and again in 2005 with the opening of a new distribution center.
