Being a clever expert, the English Princess Royal prevails.
After her marriage to Emperor Friedrich III, she remains true to the spirit of her education, which was inspired by reformation and liberalism. She commits herself to politics, philosophy, art, social issues, and charity.
In late 1900, her castle in Kronberg is more than a widow’s place.
Driven by a vivid interest in science and technology as well as a strong motive to give people material
and moral support, Victoria becomes involved in a number of construction projects.
A hospital and a poorhouse, a school and a library are founded, the castle and town church are restored, road transport infrastructure is developed. She personally tends to the building progress on the sites.
Under her influence, a rural place becomes a modern, representative, and affluent town.
