Publications play a central role in the activities of the Krupp Foundation. On the one hand, the Foundation publishes its own books dealing with the history of the Krupp company and family as well as with the Foundation and its institutions, such as the Alfried Krupp Hospital. On the other hand, it supports and initiates publications in areas that are governed by its statutes. Below, a small selection illustrates the range of subject areas.
The following selection of scientific and essayistic books is related to the Foundation, the company and the Krupp family.

The Krupp Historical Archive, established in 1905, is the oldest business archive in Germany. The author covers its history from the beginnings of the archive up to the present day and presents its contents – which encompass much more than balance sheets and annual reports. From very early on, the Krupp enterprise also ventured into the fields of culture, science and politics.
The “Essay and Archive” series reflects on the history sedimented in the sources of the Krupp Historical Archive, because there is a great deal connected with Krupp – from cultural to economic history, social history of course, political and everyday history, international history. The individual contributions in the series have the liberty to follow the sources closely or to take them as a starting point for observations with a broader horizon. The series is available in bookshops as well as on site at Villa Hügel and will be continued.

In the area of science funding, the Foundation concentrates on its own funding initiatives and institutions such as “The Alfried Krupp Institute for Advanced Study in Greifswald”. The focus is on the promotion of scientific interdisciplinary exchange and of young scientists. In this context, the field of “science” is wide-ranging and includes projects such as the research of Slavic bibles as well as the development of a “Handbuch des Staatsrechts” (Handbook of Constitutional Law) and an approach to the history of scientific institutions such as the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. A selection of these publications is listed here.

For many years already, the Krupp Foundation has been supporting a sustainable approach to children’s and youth sport. In 2003, it initiated the Children’s and Youth Sports Report, which outlines the current situation in children’s and youth sports and provides recommendations for action for politicians, associations, clubs and schools. Since then, thematic focus topics such as children’s and youth sports in transition or exercise and sports for children up to the age of twelve have been intensively explored. The Fourth German Children’s and Youth Sports Report, which was published in October 2020, focuses on the topics of performance, health and society. The volumes are available in bookshops.
