Origin2023
ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe is the direct descendant of two of the most consequential industrial companies in German history: Friedrich Krupp's steel works, founded in Essen in 1811 (which grew to dominate European armaments and war materiel production for three major wars, including WWII when it used approximately 100,000 concentration camp and forced laborers in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law), and August Thyssen's steel company, founded in 1867 in the Ruhr. The Krupp name became a synonym for German industrial militarism: Krupp's Essen steelworks produced the steel for Prussian artillery in 1870, the shells that killed soldiers in the trenches of World War I, and the weaponry of the Third Reich in World War II. Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach was convicted at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials for the exploitation of slave labor — the only conviction of a major industrialist — and later released in 1951. The 1999 merger of Thyssen AG and Krupp to form ThyssenKrupp AG created Europe's largest steel company from the combined successor companies of both firms, explicitly carrying the history of both corporate names. The Duisburg steelworks on the Rhine — now ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe's flagship facility — continues producing automotive steel for German and European car manufacturers from a plant whose predecessors were involved in one of the darkest chapters of German industrial history.
