The Kaiserpark is located in the so-called Hohenzollernviertel, which formerly belonged to Jentges' property in Krefeld-Bockum. This particularly beautiful district dates back to the initiative of Wilhelm Jentges between 1878 and 1884. Jentges was a city councilor, an unpaid deputy, a member of the provincial parliament and director of the Krefelder Sparkasse. He bought an area of approximately 280 hectares that he wanted to turn into a garden city. His heirs formed the Jentges'scher Grundgenossenschaft and created the conditions for the creation of a generously planned villa area between the city forest, Großhüttenpark, Vreed and Solbrüggenpark. The large properties allowed for stately private gardens, and the entire district was heavily greened and crisscrossed by avenue-like streets and spacious squares. City gardener Noell created the Kaiserpark as a connection to the city forest. The elongated complex was divided by a double pond and a bridge. The original plan went further, but was not fully implemented. The facility covers an area of around 5 hectares. It was intended to be given a special design by planting various conifers. In addition, many decorative beds were created. Since 1959, the ponds here have also been causing difficulties due to a lack of water. In 1964, the water level dropped so much that not only were they causing a plague of mosquitoes, but rats were also settling there. The connection to the groundwater has now been restored here.

The effort of the driveway is rewarded with a great view over Krefeld 👍

"The Greiffenhorst Park in Krefeld was laid out in 1840 for the de Greiff family by the garden artist Maximilian Weyhe. In the center of the park is Schloss Greiffenhorst, which is surrounded by old trees. to small ponds. Small bridges are reflected in the water and form a beautiful picture with the tree-rich surroundings. The paths through the park are also lined with old trees such as plane trees, beeches and lime trees. If you walk along the Linner Mühlenbach stream you will get to to the historic Linn Castle."
