The Brandenbusch settlement, built in cottage style, was built in 1885 as a residential complex for the servants of the nearby Villa Hügel. Up to 600 servants and employees of the Krupp family of industrialists lived here. Today, the settlement houses with their romantic design language are a popular place to live for families.

The Brandenbusch settlement is a side view of the BaldeneySteig.

The houses predominantly consist of up to two floors with cellars and attics. The size of the living and garden area reflected the hierarchy of the employees. After 1902, the symmetrical construction method, which can be seen particularly on Arnoldstrasse, was abandoned and the then modern country house architecture was mixed in on the facades.
