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”. 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.

Wonderful tour, you did a very good job. I liked!
it´s only the city… Krefeld is more than the city (and yes, it is not beautiful… but also not very ugly… it is just a city center, nothing special, but ok).
If you like to see the real Krefeld (without so much arabs and other foreigners) you have to go to Hüls, Bockum, Traar, Fischeln… but the city is already taken over… sad, but true)
Good day. Hope it will be that. Thank yoy so much for the video. Saw the first time this stunning city. The city is really beautiful. Walking in rainy weather is always pleasant for me. Enjoyed and clicked the like button. Bravo! Greetings and gratitude from your subscriber. Country Azerbaijan.❤❤❤👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Interesting
Enjoyed😊
I love my city. Most underrated city in Germany
It’s not just Krefeld at this point. TBH, I feel like aside from Berlin, I feel like the most hard-hit cities during WWII in Germany where those in the Rhineland region, those cities were destroyed near the same scale as Tokyo or Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, and thus retain so much fewer of their original architecture than those in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, or even those in Czechia and Austria. Such a loss 😢
