Villa Hügel: A relic of Germany's industrialization, which gave up its role as a residence after the Second World War, it remains an important monument to the company history of Fried. Krupp to this day. Owned by the non-profit Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation, the villa and its representative rooms are open to the general public.
Discovery in the "Big House"
The great variety of the original furnishings has been partially preserved: from rare tapestries and family portraits to pieces of furniture from various eras - each room tells its own story of opulence and cultural wealth. Art exhibitions have served as a link between the past and the present since 1953. Today, the Ruhr Cultural Foundation oversees these exhibitions and provides inspiring insights into the history of art and culture.
Historical insights in the "Little House"
Here, visitors can expect the “Krupp Historical Exhibition” with insights into the family and company history, supplemented by the valuable collections of the Krupp Historical Archives, founded in 1905. Documents and artifacts that document industrial development and family influence over two centuries bring history to life.
For those who want to escape the ordinary and discover something new, Villa Hügel offers a unique experience. The harmony of architecture, nature and art invites you to explore new perspectives and experience history for yourself.
Opening hours: Current information can be found on the Villa Hügel website.
