Guided Story

Can you hear the gentle hum of trains passing by? It's a sound that's been part of this place for decades. Originally named Hohenbudberg Bayerwerk, this station has a story to tell. The minimalist design around you speaks of a time when industry was king. Just behind you to the south, you'll find St. Matthias Church, quietly standing amidst all these changes. This station was once a part of the Bayer plant, one of the largest chemical companies in the world. Look northwest, and you'll see the chimneys of the Chempark power station, a reminder of Krefeld's industrial significance. This isn't just a stop on a map—it's a glimpse into the past of industrial prowess.
