When Albrecht Jung founded his company in 1912, three things
were already important to him: progress, quality and design.
These principles have characterised JUNG to date and are
noticeable and can be experienced in all parts of the company.
“Progress as tradition” is an attitude, the commitment to con-
stant new thinking. A commitment to the development of ideas
that create something new, for easier use, better functionality,
more attractive appearance and more customer-friendly service.
This motivates and unites us at JUNG. Every day.
Progress as tradition. Every day.

Dynamic.BMW Welt is a brand experience, a car delivery centre and an event hall directly adjacent
to the company headquarters and the BMW Museum. The architects Coop Himmelb(l)au
designed a 180-metres long hall that complemented the western part of the large complex
and connects the property into the urban environment.
A contemporary and dynamic architecture characterises the 25,000 square metres property.
The entrance to the building is defined by the spectacular double cone on the southern side.
The central design concept divides the hybrid building into five thematic elements: Exhibition hall,
vehicle delivery, forum, restaurant and double cone. The switches and sockets in the LS 990
design from JUNG have been flush-mounted in the walls covered with stainless steel.

The roof – the fifth façade of BMW Welt – takes
on an important part of the communicative
effect of the outer shell. Against this back-
ground, none of the traditional, fan-like, ele-
vated, south-oriented photovoltaic systems
came into question for the team around
architect Wolf D. Prix. The solar modules were
integrated flush into the stainless steel cover-
ing which lies above the actual roof drainage
level, in order to avoid visible penetrations of
the roof and ventilation elements.

“Freedom, equality, fraternity“: This motto
from the French Revolution of 1789 could have
inspired the construction of the district court
in Montmorency, a northern suburb of Paris.
The Strasbourg architects Dominique Coulon
et associés created a building with the Tribunal
d’Instance and Conseil de Prud’hommes that
blends harmoniously into the cityscape. With
its façade made of wood and bricks, the buil-
ding discretely fits into its surroundings.
Freedom,equality,fraternity.

Self-confident.
The Berlin Reichstag is one of the most historical buildings in
Germany. Completed in 1894 by Paul Wallot, the new parliament
building at that time represented an innovative architecture.
The Frankfurt architect had understood how to combine
Gothic and Renaissance elements with the possibilities of
modern technology.

The Reichstag was almost completely
destroyed in the Second World War. Later re-
construction work caused more damage than
benefit. However, the Reichstag moved out
of the shadows with the reunification: The
reconstruction for today’s seat of the German
federal parliament on a usable area of 61,166
square metres started in 1955 under the ma-
nagement of the Briton Sir Norman Foster.
The architect succeeded in an exemplary
manner to reconcile tradition and progress in
the new Reichstag. The stone relics from the
imperial era together with the newly added
installations made of glass and steel symboli-
cally document one hundred years of chang-
ing German history. Using the transparency
style, Foster set a sign for democratic open-
ness. This architectural metaphor reaches its
peak with the 23.5 metres high glass dome
above the plenary chamber that lets light and
air into the building through a funnel made of
360 mirrors and also provides a breathtaking
panorama view of the capital city.

The architectural concept aims to combine the
past and the present for the future, and the
timeless classical design of the LS 990 range
of switches from JUNG fits in perfectly with this.

The villa Casa Sardinera is located on a
mountain top above a turquoise blue bay in
the Mediterranean, between El Portixol and
Cala Blanca. The architecture of the house
captivates due to its visual tension of solidity

The rooms of the residence have a large

The One Sino Park in Beijing is considered to be
one of the most expensive residential areas in
the world – and is already a new landmark of
this Chinese capital city. The basic idea from the
GOA firm of architects was to create a modern
residential area that combines nature, urban
character and design. In spite of its central
location, the residents can enjoy the surrounding
green areas without denying themselves any of
the generous and modern living comfort of an
extravagant, boutique hotel-like design. Among
other things, the apartments have luxurious
bathrooms, pools and children’s playrooms.

With Zoku Amsterdam in Weesperstraat, an
hotel with a completely new concept opened.
It is aimed at international travellers who would
like to stay in one place for a longer time and
work and live there. The concept comes from
the pen of the Amsterdam architects Concrete.
The reception area of the hotel is located on the
roof. Not a conventional lobby, but an inter-
active, social area surrounded by a roof garden
with stunning view of the Rijks museum and the
Carré theatre. This social area should bring
the guests together and foster togetherness.
As the residents can also pour out drinks for
themselves behind the bar, this contributes
to the lounge atmosphere.
Switches in the LS 990 range of JUNG have
been installed both in the lofts as well as in
the shared lounge. With their clear design,
these blend optimally into the Scandinavian
furnishing style. All connections that a working
traveller needs have been taken into account:
data interfaces for computers and chargers
for mobile devices – all in the uniform design
of JUNG.

Impressive in the architecture, outstanding in
the interior design: a new landmark has been
produced with the construction of the Hilton
Hotel at Schiphol airport. The striking cubic
design of the hotel originates from the Dutch
architect Mecanoo in collaboration with the
British interior design agency The Gallery HBA.
Due to the organic form of the building shell,
the complex is impressively different from
the surrounding buildings arranged at right
angles. The electrical installation in the public
areas is maintained in the timeless design
of the JUNG LS 990 classic switch. In black, it
sets clear, puristic accents here. The homely
atmosphere in the rooms is supported by

The Stora Hotellet in Umeå in Sweden has a
long history. The building was built in 1895
using money of the Seamen's Mission. At that
time, the building housed on the one hand
the largest hotel of the town, the Grand Hotel,
and on the other hand also offices and
accommodation of the Mission. Thus, in
addition to high society, seafarers also went
in and out here. This polarity has not lost its
fascination to date but also significantly influ-
enced the Swedish design and architecture
office Stylt Trampoli AB from Göteborg for
the extensive renovation work.

Since the reopening in March 2014, the hotel
visitor is already amazed when entering the
building: whether maritime reminiscences
such as nautical charts, elaborate details
such as tree stumps converted to tables or
the unusual mix of materials – everything
together emphasises the particular character
of this building.
The electrical installation of the Stora Hotellet
has been implemented using the LS 990
switch design of JUNG. Thanks to the timeless
design, it consistently emphasises the particu-
lar character of the interior design in antique

The conservatory for music, dance and
theatre is in the French town of Belfort with
50,000 inhabitants. The school named after
the late composer Henri Dutilleux provides
the pupils with teaching rooms, classrooms
and rehearsal rooms, various workshops,
an auditorium and an amphitheatre. The
eye-catching façade design is characteristic
of the monolithic building. The surface of
the concrete structure is covered using the
so-called drip-painting technique that has
become known worldwide due to the American
artist Jackson Pollock. Thereby the concrete
grey exterior façade was covered in two shades
of blue using paint splashes whose texture is
strongly reminiscent of the grain of marble
and grants plasticity to the skin of the building.
On the other hand, the interior rooms are
mainly impressive due to plain exposed
concrete and wooden floors.

“Space for the future“: this is the guiding
principle of the Vienna University of Economics
and Business. This concept took on a spatial
form with the new construction of the Campus
WU. Six different buildings have been con-
structed at the same time for the ambitious
project on the former world exhibition and
trade fair grounds in Vienna / Leopoldstadt
in the framework of an international archi-
tecture competition. The overall planning is
based on the master plan of the BUSarchitektur
firm of architects.
Five other star architects were responsible
for designing the individual components: the
Zaha Hadid Architects office from Hamburg,
the Japanese workshop Hitoshi Abe, CRAB
Studio from London, Estudio Carme Pinós
from Barcelona and NO.MAD Arquitectos
from Madrid.
The new campus today consists of differen-
tiated solitary buildings that communicate
with each other. The site has a total land
area of 90,000 square metres and provides
space for 23,000 students.

300,000 LEDs shine under the largest mem-

in Munich is Germany’s first and Europe’s
largest stadium with all-round, continuous
LED external lighting for dynamic light moods.
16 million colours can be represented on the

nuances and gradients of colour. The colour
dynamics place great value on tranquillity
and elegance and just like the static illumina-
tions create a direct association with soccer.
The Arena exhibits the clear signature of the
Herzog & de Meuron architects from Basel,
who put great emphasis in their designs on
the façade of the building. Munich is no
exception: With their unique idea to cover the
stadium with air cushions and to transform
it into a light and design object, the Allianz
Arena has long been a symbol of the city.
2,784 diamond-shaped cushions made of

The Hermitage State Art Museum in St Petersburg is one of the
largest and most significant museums of art in the world. This
building complex is a key element of the St Petersburg inner city
that has been declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.
In 2005, the 3,500 square metres east wing was redesigned
under the management of the Russian Studio 44 architect’s
office and under the guidance of Rem Koolhaas / Office for
Modern Architecture.
The focus of the reconstruction was on the
inner courtyard. The courtyard was split into
small differentiated courtyards with several
connecting wings. Exterior and interior spaces
almost flow into each other through large
openings in the form of open double wing
doors. The classical organisation of space in
museums – which has developed from the
re-utilisation of residences and palaces –
is varied here in new ways and increased in
an almost post-modern gesture in its exces-
sive proportions. In its form and materials,
the classic square design of the LS 990 switch
range from JUNG in light grey fits in with the
overall architectural concept of the museum
construction.

Timeless inspiring: Developed in the tradition of the Bauhaus
in 1968, the classic design range meets all requirements state
of the art of a modern electrical installation. With the square
design and large button surface for maximum comfort, LS 990
offers not only plenty of room for further technical develop-
ments, but also presents itself in a timeless, classic design.
Let yourself be inspired by this classic format!
Dipl.-Ing. Jan Kleihues:
LS 990 – as far as I am aware, the first switch range that makes this consistent reduction into the essential – like a drug outlasting modes and yet still current. Once used, it is difficult to get away from it again due to its limitless extendability.
Dipl.-Ing. Jürgen Engel:
It would be interesting to check how many times a day you turn the light switch on or off. We would certainly all underestimate the number of times this happens. This is a good result for the switch which accompanies us day and night and is clearly visible on the wall without drawing attention to itself or making an issue of each operation. As far as I am concerned, the LS 990 is an advocate of this category.
Prof. Volkwin Marg:
Tradition is proven progress, progress is continued tradition. Classics in product design are classics in architecture. Not the quickly won awareness of the sensation that characterises it but the long period of selection through everyday use allows us to appreciate its worth. Perception equals aesthetics in Greek.
Dipl.-Ing. Michael Schumacher:
The LS 990 is a true design classic like the New National Gallery by Mies van der Rohe which is likewise 50 years old! For us at schneider+ schumacher, the switch range has been a constant companion since our office was founded almost 30 years ago. We first used the range in black in the Düsseldorf-Seestern hotel building. This shows that a good product remains contemporary for many years with minor modifications. We are already looking forward to con-gratulating the LS 990 on its 60th birthday when we celebrate our 40th anniversary!
Prof. Helmut Kleine-Kraneburg:
Our architecture stands for tradition and innovation. The whole house is expressed in the selection of materials and the execution of detail. If the detail is not right, the whole is also not right. Jung LS 990 underlines the insight into this aspect of architecture: through its clear shape and geometry as well as strict minimalism and sys-tematic simplicity, it supports architecture with timeless consistency.
A concept takes shape.
