From here you can catch a glimpse of the Villa Hügel. It quickly becomes clear that their builder, Alfred Krupp, was not a friend of modesty: From a distance, the building looks gigantic. It has 8,100 square meters of living and usable space and accommodates 269 rooms - up to 570 employees were responsible for the Krupp's royal household. How nice, if a quiet forest with beautiful trails enough to be completely satisfied. :)

After emperors, kings, counts, dukes, knights and the ecclesiastical clergy, some time later it was the "INDUSTRIAL BARONS" who were able to erect "castle-like buildings" in the 19th century because of their wealth to represent and demonstrate greatness and power - in In this sense, DIE VILLA HÜGEL is or was "SCHLOSS KRUPP" in the Ruhr area. Built in just 4 years from 1870 to 1873 by up to 800 workers, this ultra-modern building at its time comprised 269 rooms and 8,100 square meters of living space. It is embedded in an "English landscape park" of 28 hectares, which has been diversified over the years and is about 50 meters above Lake Baldeney and the Ruhr Valley.
