It was not far (!) B.C. old location established.
The house next to the smelter was built for the first works manager and was only occupied by the Krupps when they had to move out of the birthplace on Flachsmarkt for financial reasons.
Friedrich Krupp moved again after 2 years: to the cemetery on Weberstrasse.
Krupp was in debt and it was his wife Therese and her sister-in-law Helene von Müller who founded the cast steel factory, which son Alfred 18-something turned into the largest industrial company in Europe.
It didn't get that small: a 2-storey extension served as a residential building.
In 1861 there was a new house with a garden on the factory premises.
12 years later we moved to the rather spacious Villa Hügel with 8100m2.
Funny? Krupp did not have a building permit: it was granted in 1870 after the basement ceiling was completed, although the plot area (28 hectares) was not known.
Incidentally, in 1876 you got by with 66 employees - in 1914 there were 648 permanent (!) employees.
