Entrance to the Hoesch headquarters in Dortmund

Hoesch AG was an important steel and mining company with locations in the Ruhr area and Siegen.

In 1871, Hoesch was founded by Leopold Hoesch. In 1938, Hoesch employed 30,000 people.

In 1972, the prominent steel producer merged with the Dutch Hoogovens steel company to form Estel.

It was formerly the largest employer in Dortmund. In 1982 the merger with Dutch company Estel was stoped by Detlev Karsten Rohwedder and Hoesch became again an own company. In 1991, German company Krupp bought Hoesch.

Nazi involvement

Fritz Springorum represented Hoesch AG at the Secret Meeting of 20 February 1933 at which prominent industrialists met with Adolf Hitler to finance the Nazi Party.
