Christian Dell.
Dell was born in Offenbach am Main, from 1907-11 he completed the silver forging studies at the academy there . In 1912-13 he studied at the Saxon college of arts & crafts in Weimar. From 1922-25 he worked as foreman of the metal workshop at the Bauhaus in Weimar. In 1926 he changed to the Frankfurt art school (Städelschule). In 1933 with the Nazi Party taking control he was unable to remain there & Walter Gropius founder of the Bauhaus school offered him a job in the United States. However, Dell decided to remain in Germany.

After World War II, Dell manufactured silver goods & in 1948 opened a jewellery shop in Wiesbaden, which he operated until 1955. He died in Wiesbaden in 1974.

Helo Lighting Company was founded in 1946 by Henry Gerhard in Neuburg Germany. They started with the production of aluminum and brass workshop & factory lighting in an unusual factory in the north wing of Neuburg Castle.

In 1951 the company reported 90 employees & moved its operations to Adalbert-Stifter-Strasse due to the need for a larger production space. Helo later moved to Schwalbanger, their current company headquarters.

The Kaiser Lighting Company acquired the rights to use the Helo brand & individual models such as the " Inspector's Light ". In the 1980s Helo ceased producing lighting as we know it & concentrates now as an electrical trading company .
