:''For the founder of the company, see Friedrich Krupp'' Friedrich Alfred Krupp (17 February 1854 – 22 November 1902) was a German steel manufacturer of the company Krupp. == Biography == Krupp was born in Essen, Germany. His father was Alfred Krupp. In 1887, Friedrich took over the leadership of his father's company. He married Margarethe Krupp (born ''Freiin von Ende''). They had two daughters: Bertha and Barbara (married Tilo Freiherr von Wilmowsky). Krupp increased and diversified the output of the Krupp Works, which he extended by the incorporation with them of other enterprises. A member of the Prussian Upper House and Council of State, he also sat in the Reichstag from 1893 to 1898. Krupp loved the Italian island of Capri, where he often lived for some months in each year. He stayed at the hotel ''Quisisana'' and had two yachts, ''Maya'' and ''Puritan''. His hobby was Oceanography. He met Felix Anton Dohrn and Ignazio Cerio on Capri. On 15 November 1902 the Social Democratic magazine ''Vorwärts'' claimed in an article that Friedrich Alfred Krupp was homosexual,〔Bernd-Ulrich Hergemöller, ''Mann für Mann'', page 449〕 that he had a number of liaisons with local boys and men and that his fondest attachment was to Adolfo Schiano, an 18-year-old barber and amateur musician.〔Robert Aldrich, ''The Seduction of the Mediterranean'', page 127〕 A week later, on 22 November 1902, Krupp committed suicide.〔 In a speech at Krupp's burial, Emperor Wilhelm II attacked the Social Democratic politicians, insisting that they had lied about Krupp's sexual orientation.〔Willi Boelcke, ''Krupp und die Hohenzollern in Dokumenten 1850-1918''. Frankfurt 1970. pages 158-162〕 Krupp's heirs began a suit against ''Vorwärts'', but soon abandoned the action. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friedrich Alfred Krupp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
