Krefeld is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, that rarely attracts tourists. It is more known for its historical links to the textile industry during the 18th and 19th centuries, sometimes earning it the nickname “Velvet and Silk City” because of its major role in silk production. Krefeld is located near the Rhine River, close to major cities like Duisburg and Dortmund, which are also not typical tourist destinations.

Our walk starts near the Krefeld train station. The city is divided into several districts, featuring a mix of residential areas, parks, and industrial zones. On this rainy afternoon, we quickly enter the city center, walk around the main shopping streets near “Königstraße,” and then return to the train station.

There isn’t much to see from a tourist perspective. This walk offers a glimpse of what former industrial cities in North Rhine-Westphalia, such as Duisburg and Essen, are like. They vary in size and have historically attracted immigrants from Turkey.
