Der Park der Villa Hügel

Zusatztext

The park of Villa Hügel in Essen, a "green treasure chamber," was created nearly 140 years ago and has since undergone many transformations. Originally used as a private retreat for the Krupp industrialist family and a place for social representation, it offered sports and leisure activities, while its woods and fields provided the villa with game, fruit, and vegetables. Today, the park presents itself as an English landscape garden, where traces of the past can still be seen. The richly illustrated book invites readers on a walk through history, telling stories of majestic trees, access permits, nightingale woes, and illustrious strolling guests.
