Stadthaus

Stadthaus is a modern high-rise in Krefeld featuring clean lines and a steel-glass construction that spans multiple stories. The building shapes the city center with its functional design and open spatial arrangement.

The building was designed by Egon Eiermann in 1956 and was part of the rebuilding of Krefeld after World War II. It marks the start of modern architecture in the city's administrative landscape.

The building shows how the city wanted to rebuild itself after the war, with modern forms instead of historical ornaments. Visitors see here the shift from old to new building styles in the townscape.

The high-rise is centrally located in Krefeld and is easily reached on foot or by public transport. As an administrative building, standard opening hours and access rules apply for visitors.

The steel-glass construction was a technical innovation in the 1950s that differed from traditional German building methods. This building approach later allowed more flexible interior layouts for different administrative departments.
