Die Familie: 200 Jahre Henschel in Kassel - Sechs Generationen Unternehmensgeschichte

The Henschel family has shaped life in Kassel for six generations. Founded in 1810 by Georg Christian Carl Henschel as a foundry, the Henschel works developed into one of the most important machine and vehicle factories in Germany.
Over the decades, they have experienced all the highs and lows: inflation and the global economic crisis, the time as an armaments factory during the Second World War, the post-war years.

"Henschel is Kassel and Kassel is Henschel, " they said at the time. The Henschel family has always shown that economic success and social responsibility go hand in hand.
All of that is long gone. And yet, for example, the Sophie-Henschel-Platz in front of the Red Cross Hospital and the university on the site of the old main factory are reminders of the Henschel family.

In his richly illustrated book, author Thomas Siemon tells the story of the rise and fall of a large and influential family business. He portrays the entrepreneurial personalities who have given Henschel a face over the years and recalls the close connection between the factory and the city of Kassel.
