How to find us

Guides tours

Tours given by third parties without an official permit are forbidden.

Guided Tours don't take place for the time being.

The Villa Hügel was the residence of the Krupp family. You may visit the house and park during opening hours and participate in our group tours. Our guides take you on a journey through the multi-layered history of the Krupps to give you an overview – or, in the case of our special theme tours, a deeper look – at both the family and the enterprise. Our tours of the park point out unusual features, exotic treasures and examples of local beauty in the expansive, hill-covered grounds.

Would you like to book a private group tour? Please reserve in advance and specify your language preference. We offer tours in German, English, French and Dutch. Or consult our calendar to see if a tour is available on your preferred date. We recommend booking well in advance.

Of course, we also offer public guided tours every Sunday starting at 11.00 am, 12.30 pm, and 2.00 pm. There is no pre-registration: visitors can purchase tickets on site.

Not only would the history of the Krupp family be inconceivable without its women, but the history of the Krupp firm would be as well. Over the long history of the Krupp family, the women developed widely varying strengths. Whether as daughters, brides or wives, businessmen\u2019s spouses, household managers or networkers, the Krupp women assumed many roles in addition to pursuing their personal interests.

Architecture fulfils set functions and serves a variety of purposes. For generations of the Krupp family, the Villa H\u00fcgel was not simply a residence; it was also a prestigious setting. There are rooms where children played and rooms where kings dined; and also rooms in which economic and political decisions were made that had far-reaching consequences. This tour will guide you through these rooms, introduce you to the architects, and recount stories ranging from problems satisfying the demanding owner to technological quirks to structural changes. This theme tour is available with or without an introduction to the Krupp story.<\/p>\n

The dual residential and representational usage of this estate not only influenced its architectural language \u2013 they also shaped the interior of the enormous house. The domestic culture of the Krupp home underwent many changes over the decades. For each generation, the spirit and taste of the times, openness to new ideas, or the use of historical models all played an important role in the selection of furniture, tapestries, porcelain, paintings, and interior decoration. Objects that typified their time were combined with highly personal or even eccentric items. Original pieces bring the domestic interiors of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries alive in their historical and cultural context.
