| The German
Textile Museum is located at the Andreasmarkt in
Krefeld-Linn. The market is the secular centre
of the small mediaeval town around the castle. One side
of the square belongs to the textile museum. Half of the
building is of a modern construction, while the other
half betrays its past as an imposing residence of a mayor
of Linn from the 18th century. In an appropriate setting
one of the greatest museum treasures of the town of
Krefeld is accommodated here: almost 30.000 textiles from
all over the world, produced over a period of more than
2.000 years. The museum collection was based on the former collection of patterns started as long ago as 1880 for the Royal Prussian School of Weaving. In the 1930s ownership of the collection, which had grown considerably in the meantime, was transferred to the town of Krefeld. A good number of the treasures contained in the collection stem from the production of velvet and silk, which has made Krefeld a city since the 18th century and the inhabitants of the town connoisseurs of these luxury items. In order to preserve the highly sensitive materials and their colours for as long as possible the textiles are stored in a carefully air-conditioned archive. For this reason the museum does not have a display collection which is accessible to visitors. Changing exhibitions of the items stored by the museum and other museums provide an insight into the variety of the textiles and the comprehensive Krefeld collection. Between the exhibitions the museum remains closed. In addition, visitors have a library with adjacent reading room permanently at their disposal. Please contact us to inquire about the theme of the relevant exhibition! Regular guided tours take place every Wednesday and Sunday at 3 pm. Other guided tours and guided tours for children are available by appointment. |
