The Hergiswil Glassworks on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland has been in continuous operation for more than 200 years. Threatened by automated glass production, the glassworks faced the prospect of closing their doors in 1975, but the town of Hergiswil with the guiding energy of glass artist/entrepreneur Roberto Neiderer, rose to the occasion to save the works.
