Notgeld Crefeld / Krefeld 1923
This page contains Notgeld banknotes that were issued in 1923 by the municipalities of
Crefeld/Krefeld. Krefeld is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located southwest
of the Ruhr area, just a few kilometres to the west of the River Rhine. Its population today is
about 238,000. The city was formerly known as Crefeld.
History of Krefeld
The origins of the town were in Roman times, when the legions founded the military camp of
Gelduba (today the borough of Gellep). Krefeld itself was first mentioned in 1105 under the
name of Krinvelde. Uerdingen was originally an independent town east of Krefeld, founded in
1255. In medieval times it was larger and more important than Krefeld.
The growth of the town began in the 17th century, when Krefeld was one of few towns spared by
the horrors of the Thirty Years' War. The town was quickly overpopulated. In 1683 a large group
of Krefelders left the town, crossed the Atlantic and founded the settlement of Germantown
(now incorporated in Philadelphia).
The town of Uerdingen was less lucky; it was completely destroyed in the Thirty Years' War by
troops from Hesse and almost ceased to exist. Krefeld got ahead of Uerdingen and the towns merged in 1928.
