Haus der Seidenkultur

The Haus der Seidenkultur exhibits a collection of historical machinery, tools, and artifacts showcasing the methods of silk production and weaving techniques.

The building from 1868 reflects the industrial heritage of Krefeld, which emerged as a major European center for silk manufacturing in the 18th century.

The museum preserves the knowledge of traditional silk production through demonstrations, workshops, and exhibitions that connect past craftsmanship with modern practices.

Visitors can explore the museum Wednesday through Friday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM and Sundays from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available twice monthly.

The facility maintains original weaving looms where skilled artisans demonstrate the intricate process of creating patterned silk fabrics using traditional methods.
