Karl Otto oHG
LütjenseeNew on Amplifa
Family company since 1866
Karl Otto oHG is a craft business in Lütjensee (Schleswig-Holstein) that evolved from a village forge founded in 1866. As a certified plumbing specialist, the company plans and implements bathrooms from complete bathroom renovation to new construction. In the heating sector, the business plans, modernises and maintains systems using gas, heat pumps or hybrid technology, and offers an emergency heating service from October to March for systems under its care. In its own workshop, copper and zinc sheets are processed – from classic seaming work to customised metal special solutions for roofs, facades and detail connections. At the Lütjensee location, the company operates a retail store with a bathroom and heating showroom. Through cooperation with carpenters and electricians, an all-round craft service is offered. The general partnership has been run by Rüdiger and Sven Otto in the fifth generation since 1998.
