Synopsis

When Alfred Krupp thought about what should happen to all that was accumulated around the company - and later around the hill - in 1871, he came up with the idea of an archive so that "what … still exists would not be lost. Today, artifacts, photos and papers fill the magazines of the Historical Archive Krupp in an almost unmistakable amount. The series "Essay and Archives" reflects the history sedimented in these sources, and with Krupp is very much connected - from cultural to economic history, social of course, political and everyday history, international. The individual contributions in the series have the freedom to lean closely to the sources or to take them as a starting point for considerations with wider horizons. In this volume, Thorsten Scheer describes the main administration building in Essen planned by the famous architect Mies van der Rohe on behalf of the company Krupp and arranges this architectural concept into its overall work
