Not bad. The village I’m living in is almost double that age.
One year older, than city where I live
My Hometown is 870 years old or older if consider the town which was there before the one was build at the exact place, but a lot smaller (about 2% of the inhabitants) and wasn’t a city but a village until the 21 century.
famously the home of Homestory Cup
Quite a latecomer as far as European cities go, especially in the Western border regions of Germany.
Happy birthday Krefeld! Sure, you’re still young. 650 is the new 40…
Everything built after 1200AD are just hipster imo.
That’s probably newer than most cities in Germany I’d imagine? I think the main phase of founding cities was the 12th century if I don’t mix something up.
The German city I live in turns 2061 this year.
Hopefully Krefeld Penguine will win Del League
Once, I called this place home
That’s the nicest possible shot one can find of Krefeld. The city is an eyesore with terrible infrastructure.
Anniversary?
Happy cake day, Krefeld!
That’s about 120 years longer than the discovery of the new world, just under 3 times longer than the USA, almost 20 times as long as the current iteration of Germany (reunification, only 8 times for post-war Germany) and over 4 times longer than Germany as a unified idea (German Empire), although only just over half the age of the HRE which some might argue as the first iteration of Germany.
650 years is a very long time, I hope this put it in perspective a bit.
And now show the ugly main train station of our city :puke:
