this boundary stone is the fifth on the route "The boundary stone route - cycle tour along the "Herrlichkeit Krefeld"" The cycle tour by our city guide Georg Opdenberg shows you a piece of history and takes you past a total of 11 boundary stones. The suggested route is based on the city border from 1726 and moves from boundary stone to boundary stone. The route traces the outer border of the former "Herrlichkeit Krefeld", even if not all of the original boundary stones have been preserved. Understandable when you consider that the city has expanded from a small rural community in the south, west and east to the state border in almost 300 years.

“The smart benches” in Hülser Bruch. There are quite a few of them, always with a location-related text on the backrest. Unfortunately, some have now become badly weathered and require new care.
