KLEINE REIHE VILLA HÃœGEL THE VILLA HÃœGEL - RE...

This handy and informative book describes the history and function of the house from a
residence with artistic furnishings and an adjoining farming estate to today's centre for
internationally famed exhibitions and cultural events. The property Hügel 1 in the Essen
borough of Bredeney is listed in the estate register of the city of Essen as a single-family
house. However  with its 269 rooms and 8 100 m² usable floor space  beautifully situated within
28 ha of park overlooking Lake Baldeney  the Villa is far more than merely the residence of an
industrial magnate - it is a symbol of German industrialization. The Villa Hügel  erected
between 1870 and 1873 by Alfred Krupp  was intended as a residence and refuge for Krupp and his
family. It was also to provide a suitable stately frame for representation  receptions and
festivities. Emperors and Kings  business men from all over the world  politicians and heads of
state of many nations visited the Villa Hügel. This book describes the history and function of
the house from a residence with artistic furnishings and an adjoining farming estate to today's
centre for internationally famed exhibitions and cultural events organised by the Alfried Krupp
von Bohlen und Halbach-Stiftung.
