The Neighborhood:

# About the Area



You're in Bockum, one of Krefeld's greenest and most sought-after residential districts — a true garden-city quarter of tree-lined streets, handsome villas, and parks. It's calm, well-kept, and genuinely residential, yet only a short tram ride from Krefeld's centre and main station, and close to the Stadtwald, the city's large cultivated forest.



# Shopping & Essentials



Bockum's local high street, Uerdinger Straße, is within easy reach and covers everyday needs: a Netto supermarket, the Bockumer Arkaden, bakeries, a drugstore, a post office, and small shops and cafés. For a wider choice, Krefeld's city-centre shopping is a short tram ride away.



# Dining



The streets around Uerdinger Straße offer cafés, bakeries, and restaurants within a few minutes' walk. For a broader selection — from classic Lower Rhine Gasthaus cooking to international kitchens — Krefeld's city centre is a quick ride away.



# Leisure & Attractions



- Stadtwald & Sollbrüggenpark (on foot) — Krefeld's large city forest and surrounding parks, right on the doorstep for walks and runs

- Krefeld Zoo (a short walk or ride) — a popular family highlight

- Haus Lange & Haus Esters (approx. 10–15 min) — two villas by Bauhaus director Mies van der Rohe, now art museums

- Burg Linn (by car) — a medieval moated castle with a museum and park

- Elfrather See (approx. 5 km) — a lake for sailing, running, and the outdoors



# Host's Insider Tips



- Haus Lange & Haus Esters (Wilhelmshofallee, right here in Bockum — a few minutes away): two 1920s villas by Bauhaus director Mies van der Rohe, now art museums with changing exhibitions, set in quiet gardens — a local cultural gem most visitors never find

- A stroll through Bockum's villa avenues into the Stadtwald: the Wilhelmshofallee and surrounding streets are lined with handsome villas and old trees, leading straight into the Stadtwald forest and the Sollbrüggenpark with its moated manor house — the locals' everyday green escape, with a large pond where you can rent a paddleboat in summer

- The Stadtwaldhaus beer garden: tucked inside the Stadtwald, this local institution has one of the largest beer gardens outside Bavaria — a relaxed, very local spot for a drink or a meal under the trees



Getting Around:

# Parking
