About us
A German family business.
A family-run manufactory in Germany
Lichtbild is a registered German company (GmbH) with its own workshop in Stuttgart. Every model is made here, 100%. Designed, produced, inspected, and packed by our in-house team. The company is run by us, two brothers. The younger generation brings the innovative ideas. The manufactory brings the standards.
40,000+ places have already become models
100% Made in Germany. That is exactly why we are fast.
We have never outsourced production. Our machines are in Stuttgart, and our suppliers are in Germany and the EU. Short routes instead of container ships. That is how express production within 24 hours is possible for smaller models. Larger models are noticeably faster too, even though each one is one of a kind and only made after you order, crafted personally for you.
Our own workshop
Production, storage, and shipping under one roof in Stuttgart. Nothing is outsourced.
Short supply chains
Materials from suppliers in Germany and the EU. Reliable, vetted, fast.
24-hour production available
With express production, we craft smaller models within 24 hours. Larger models take a bit longer, but still ship fast.
We put our name and face behind it.
We started as two brothers in our parents' home. Today, we run our own workshop in Stuttgart with production, storage, and office.
A 10-person team in Stuttgart.
Behind every model are more than ten people who produce, inspect, and pack it. They are what makes 24-hour production possible. We keep growing and creating jobs in the region.

A look inside our workshop
The Stuttgarter Zeitung visited our workshop and described the production like this:
“The hum of countless 3D printers becomes a constant background noise. Automated arms move back and forth without pause, letting houses, towers, and famous landmarks grow millimeter by millimeter out of plastic. Cities and mountain ranges, islands and seas.”
What others write about us
“For the customer, it is all remarkably simple. They go to the website, choose any place on the map, and see their model in the preview.”
“Innovative thinking and entrepreneurial skill […] promise a successful future for the family business.”
“The customer base reportedly includes local authorities, architecture and real estate firms, but above all private individuals who want to hang their hometown, dream city, or favorite place on their wall at home.”
What we stand for.
A name and a face
We personally stand behind our products, not as an anonymous shop. With a quality promise and satisfaction guarantee.
Fair fixed pricing
No discount games, no countdown timers. One fairly calculated price for everyone, from day one.
Roots and connection
This is not about decor. It is about the place that means something to you. Home, where you come from, the place that shaped you.
Easy to reach
Fast delivery, direct answers. You can actually reach us by email and phone.
Fair prices instead of discount campaigns
At Lichtbild, you will not find discount codes or promotional pricing. Why? Because every one of our 3D city models and relief maps is handcrafted in Stuttgart. Our prices are fairly calculated from the start. That way, we treat every customer equally. If you order today, you pay the same fair price as everyone else. For us, it is a matter of respect for our craft and our customers.
