About us

Germany’s oldest stained glass studio

Glasmalerei Dr. H. Oidtmann is Germany’s oldest stained glass studio. For generations, our family business has created glasswork where art, craft and architecture meet: from the restoration of historic church windows to contemporary glass design.

Today the company is run by the fifth and sixth generations, Heinrich, Dr Stefan and Michael Oidtmann. Artists, architects and conservation specialists in Germany and abroad rely on the experience of our workshops.
