Abstract
The development in any country of any branch of technology depends not only on the development of theory and basic knowledge but also on the availability of raw materials, standards of craftsmanship and technical ability and on economic factors. This applies to the development of lighting and, in particular, to the technique of application; this is evident from a study of lighting in different countries and applies equally in the case of Germany.
The main part of the paper is concerned with lighting practice in offices, schools, shops, theatres and churches. There is also a section dealing with recent developments in railway lighting in Germany.
