Technology start-up: factory of apparatus for electric lighting. 1903 The founding. Gustav and Richard Giersiepen found their venture on August 1, 1905 in two rented rooms in Wuppertal-Wichlinghausen: a manufacturer of light switches and parts for electrical installation in buildings. With this, these two pioneers lay the foundation for the Gira brand – and for a success story that continues to this day. In our image gallery, you can see various Gira milestones from the Tumbler Switch 1905 to the smart home solutions of the 21st century. 1926 Plug Socket Nr. 265.
