Krefeld is known as Germany’s “Samt- und Seidenstadt,” velvet and silk city. It is the hub of Germany’s textiles market. The German Textile Museum and the Museum of Silk Culture draw on one of the world’s richest collections of fabrics and give a peek into the area’s unique history. The affluence generated by textile manufacturing is reflected in the city’s architecture.
The most remarkable buildings are Haus Lange and Haus Esters, twin buildings designed by famous architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The buildings are designed in the Bauhaus style, reinforced concrete blocks clad with bricks. Both are now contemporary art museums that hold splendid collections from around the world.
The inner city is built partly in Wihelminic architecture, from spacious family homes in quiet green locations, stylish old neighborhoods to loft and penthouse apartments. Krefeld is known for its innovative architecture, vibrant culture, and striking design that blends well with the beauty of the natural surroundings.
