This former sewage treatment plant
Until 1962, the purification plant was used in its original state. From then until 1996, it continued to operate exclusively as a pumping station – due to the installation of Archimedes screws. In 1996, the entire complex was replaced by an adjacent new pumping station. Next to the large hall (main building), containing, among other things, two sewer channels, an overflow channel, and the hall crane, the lime pumping station (machine room) is also located there.
At the rear of the site is the manager's residence, built in 1921/1922 according to the plans of the architect Anton Rumpen. The original sluice house is still in the possession of the Krefeld municipal company for sewer engineering reasons and currently serves as access to the rainwater flooding system.
The old sewage treatment plant was purchased by four friends. They want to give it a new purpose, respecting the historical and architectural character of the building. To keep vandals out, the property was recently secured with cameras and motion detectors. It can now only be visited legally...
