Krupp Steelworks, Essen

The Krupp family, a prominent 400 year old German dynasty from Essen, have become famous for their production of steel, artillery, ammunition, and other armaments. Friedrich Krupp built a pioneering steel foundry in Essen in 1810. His son Alfred invested heavily in new technology to become a significant manufacturer of steel rollers and railway tires. He also invested in the revolutionary Bessemer process and acquired many mines in Germany and France. The company began to make steel cannons in the 1840s. Low non-military demand and government subsidies meant that the company specialized more and more in weapons: by the late 1880s the manufacture of armaments represented around 50% of Krupp's total output. At the time Krupp's was the world's largest industrial company and the largest private company in the German empire. When Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933, the Krupp works became the center for German rearmament. The choices of the Krupp family and firm during the Nazi era, including support of Hitler and use of forced labour, are part of the legacy. No photographer credited, undated.

Título:
Krupp Steelworks, Essen
Descripción:
Traducción automática: La familia Krupp, una prominente dinastía alemana de 400 años de antigüedad de Essen, se hizo famosa por su producción de acero, artillería, municiones y otros armamentos. Friedrich Krupp construyó una fundición de acero pionera en Essen en 1810. Su hijo Alfred invirtió mucho en nueva tecnología para convertirse en un importante fabricante de rodillos de acero y neumáticos para ferrocarril. También invirtió en el revolucionario proceso Bessemer y adquirió muchas minas en Alemania y Francia. La empresa comenzó a fabricar cañones de acero en la década de 1840. La baja demanda no militar y los subsidios gubernamentales hicieron que la empresa se especializara cada vez más en armas: a fines de la década de 1880, la fabricación de armamentos representaba alrededor del 50% de la producción total de Krupp. En ese momento, Krupp era la empresa industrial más grande del mundo y la empresa privada más grande del imperio alemán. Cuando Adolf Hitler llegó al poder en Alemania en 1933, las plantas de Krupp se convirtieron en el centro del rearme alemán. Las decisiones de la familia y la empresa Krupp durante la era nazi, incluido el apoyo a Hitler y el uso de trabajo forzado, son parte del legado. No se menciona a ningún fotógrafo, sin fecha
