The graves of the Krupp family are located in a small separated area on the cemetery of Bredeney. Originally the Krupps were interred at various cemeteries in or near the center of Essen all of which were abandoned in the first half of the 20th century because of urban development.
The new burial site in Bredeney was built in 1955 by Aloys Kalenborn and all members of the Krupp family were relocated there. The cemetery of Bredeney was chosen because of the strong relatedness of the family to this rural district of Essen near the Villa Hügel.
