Notes: A rare study of Krupps' considerable acheivements in the creation of model villages for their workers with useful plans and views. The first colonies, mainly of cottage dwellings, were designed in the 1870s (Echederhof and Alfredshof). Several other villages followed, culminating in the impressive Friedrichshof Colony (1899-1906) with its elaborate stone-built blocks with central gardens etc. Very informative plans and photos.
