In the course of his life, Willy Korf, the "steel baron" from the state of Baden-Württemberg, experienced all of the highs and lows of an entrepreneur's career.
He lost an industrial empire overnight — and stubbornly built up a new one. With never-ending ambition, he fired up the steel industry and struggled against bankruptcy, traditional ownership structures and political obstacles. In this biography, which was published by Jürgen Großmann, Oliver Driesen tells the story of a roller-coaster life that oscillated between triumph and tragedy.
