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 👍

There are really good bike paths in the area.

<< Sources in the Flöthbach... >> "The water from the Flöthbach in the Venn area, today's Pappelstraße, used to have a special meaning for the people of Huel, because it was used to cool the eyes with "lame Oore", i.e. with sick eyes. To the ophthalmologist in Krefeld one only went when the water had had no effect. Although it cannot be proven with certainty that the withdrawal point for the eye-healing water was fed by spring water, indications of springs in the Flöthbach in this area suggest this assumption Flöthbach must be addressed as a primary source. An expert report on the hydrological and water management situation of the Flöthbach proves that groundwater can flow into the bottom of the water body if the groundwater level in the surrounding area is higher than the water level of the Flöthbach. It can therefore be assumed that in this In the area there are still springs in the bottom of the Flöthbach." (Stefan Kronsbein, 2015) https://www.kuladig.de/Object-View/O-120134-20150329-5
