Ende Manor

Around 1911, Kommerzienrat Robert Müser had the estate built in the Baroque style. It was intended as a venue for celebrations and representation, featuring a hall with a large fireplace and numerous guest rooms. After Müser's early death, Albert Vögler, general director of the United Steelworks and confidant of Hugo Stinnes, acquired the house in 1919. Vögler used the villa to cultivate his contacts within the Ruhr industry and also hosted Adolf Hitler there. During World War II, Vögler had a bunker system and security measures installed. He himself held a leading position in the armaments industry but took his own life in 1945 to avoid capture.
