Mann + Hummel

Company museum

In June 2016, MANN + HUMMEL opened its new technology center in Ludwigsburg. It not only houses new research and laboratory facilities, but also a company museum that documents the 75-year history of the filter manufacturer.

In the company museum, visitors are taken on a journey through 75 unique years, which are brought to life with exhibits and interviews with contemporary witnesses. The central and impressive element of the exhibition is the media pixel wall with 5670 backlit filter elements on an area 17 meters wide and 5 meters high. Each filter element is controlled as a pixel. Visitors can learn various facts and figures about the company, such as production figures and locations.

The “filter wall” consists of more than 5,600 monochrome LED tiles from the L series in 6,500K, on which MANN + HUMMEL filter elements are mounted. Three L20 tiles of 10x10cm each are controlled by an intelligent system. The power and data supply is provided by 33 System Power Supplies 4E. The installation is controlled by a Pixel-Gate Light.
