In the 20th Century, requests came in for other prestigious buildings and hotels. In 1945, the Chandelier factory was nationalized by the Government of Czechoslovakia, and consequently, the German owner and his workers immigrated to Germany where the company is now based. Palwa is a lighting company from Germany that after nearly 80 years still exists today.
