The "Siemens Superstar"

Siemens lights up the world's biggest rotating Christmas star: a wind turbine north of Munich, with 9,000 light-emitting diodes from OSRAM shining on its rotor blades. Created as a cooperative effort between Siemens and multimedia artist Michael Pendry, the "Siemens Superstar" is a unique combination of art and technology. It is also a dual symbol, representing both green innovations and renewable energy sources. The light-emitting diodes shine as brightly as 20,000 Christmas candles, yet consume no more electricity than two electric kettles or one hair dryer. The "Siemens Superstar" thus lights the way to a green and sustainable future – and not only during the Christmas season.

An eventful year is coming to a close. We’d now like to take the opportunity to thank very much for your loyalty to Siemens and wish all of you and your families a happy holiday season and all the best for the New Year.
