        At 63 meters, the Hülser Berg is the highest natural elevation in the city of Krefeld and is located about two kilometers north-east of the village of Hüls, which was incorporated in 1975 in the district of Traar. In publications and reports from the time before the incorporation, one also finds the term "Hülser Berg im Kempener Land". (...)

        The Hülser Berg was formed as part of the Lower Rhine mountain range during the Drenthe advance of the Saale Ice Age around 150,000 years ago. The piled-up debris, which the glaciers coming from Scandinavia pushed in front of and under them, remained after they had thawed in the form of a push terminal moraine. (...)

        The oldest human traces on the Hueler Berg were found around 1979 by Detlef Stender. These are Mesolithic sites from the end of the last Ice Age (approx. 8000 BC) to the beginning of the Neolithic Age (approx. 5500 BC). Flint artefacts (arrowheads and flint flakes) were found. The highest artefact concentration was found on the eastern slope. Due to the high concentration of finds and the type of finds, it can be concluded that people stayed at the Hueler Berg for a long time. The finds are now in the Museum Burg Linn (Krefeld).

        In 1909 the remains of a Celtic camp were excavated on the Hueler Berg. It consisted of a double wall 400 meters long. Burn sites and tools were found. A documentation of these findings was written in an essay by Detlef Stender and Thomas Ruppel.

        There are so-called clay pits all over the hill: Round pits in the ground with a diameter of 10 to 20 meters bear witness to the former quarrying sites of the clay cutters, who supplied the pot and pan bakers (potters and manufacturers of roof tiles) with raw materials for their production. From the 17th to the 19th century, Hüls was one of the most important pot baking villages on the left bank of the Lower Rhine.(...)
