The book explores the evolution of Villa Hügel, originally built as a grand residence for industrialist Alfred Krupp between 1870 and 1873. With 269 rooms and extensive grounds overlooking Lake Baldeney, it served not only as a family home but also as a venue for prestigious events attended by royalty and global leaders. Today, the villa stands as a cultural hub, hosting renowned exhibitions and events, reflecting its significance in German industrial history and its transformation over time.
