This print captures a significant moment in history - the impending seizure of the famous Ruhr town by France. Taken on January 10,1921, it offers a sweeping aerial view of the renowned Krupp works in Essen, Germany. The monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia to this twentieth-century image. The photograph showcases the immense scale and industrial prowess of the Krupp works, which were at the heart of Essen's economic prosperity. As one gazes upon this central European landscape from above, it becomes evident why this region was coveted by neighboring nations during times of political tension. The image is sourced from Central News and serves as a valuable piece of Europeana photography. It provides us with a visual testament to historical events that shaped not only local communities but also international relations during that era. It is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use or affiliation with the company itself. Instead, it focuses solely on describing and contextualizing the content within the photograph – capturing an iconic moment in time through its depiction of a renowned industrial site amidst geopolitical turmoil.
