Podcast Tour: The Krupp Empire and the Soul of Essen

Steps into the shadow of industrial titans. For over a century, the Krupp family shaped Essen and built a "forbidden city" of steel that influenced warfare and modern capitalism. On this tour, you will discover the Krupp heritage – from the modest family home to the modern headquarters on renovated industrial ground. We explore the paradox of its paternalistic empire, which offered workers security at the cost of absolute loyalty, and trace Essens' transformation from the polluted forge to the green metropolis.
