After visiting the impressive Villa Hügel we went for lunch to the Südtiroler Stuben on the shore of the lake Baldeneynsee. About 10 years ago Metso had some business with Krupp and I visited the Thyssen Krupp office in Essen. The business part was handled quickly so the Krupp manager took me for lunch at a restaurant at the Villa Hügel. The food and wine was excellent with a magnificent view over the lake busy with all kinds of boats. It was a memory that had stuck with me and I am glad I could share it with Leslie today.
Villa Hugel was built in 1870-73 by Alfred Krupp. It has 269 rooms.
He took over the responsibility of the firm at the age of 14 and turned it into one of the most important companies in the 19th century. Steel making, metal works and canons.
The Krupp company was family owned, and when the last owner Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach died in 1967 it was turned into a trust.
