Sometimes a “little thing” leads to a whole lot more
Dr. Theodor Stiebel designed the first coil immersion heater and
founded “ELTRON Dr. Theodor Stiebel” in 1924 in a small workshop
on Reichenberger Strasse in Berlin, Germany.

Since then, Stiebel Eltron has manufactured 20 million tankless

electric water heaters, holds hundreds of patents, has won more
than fifty design awards, and continues to stay at the forefront of
water heating technology.
