We came to Germany from Poland in 1989 and then to Krefeld in 1993 I think. My dad is an orthopedic and he oppened his practice in Krefeld Hüls. I went to school at Sollbrüggen Grundschule and then the Ricarda Huch Gymnasium. I still remember Horten at the Ostwall, the drug problems at the theater place or the bookstore in the city where this guy with a mustache always sold Bratwurst in front of it. I also remember the Königsstraße and all the great shops they had there. I left Krefeld for Düsseldorf 16 years ago because of my studies and stayed here. A friend told me about the shop situation and I just wonder wtf happened. Back then the Ostwall was renovated and everything looked well taken care of. I used to go everywhere by bicycle. I did always like the outer regions more like Verberg, Traar or the Hülse Bruch. We lived at Sollbrüggenstraße in Bockum, great place too. Also at the Stadtwald at Deussstraße and finally we build a house at the Wallenburgdyk. It's still a nice corner. I was there last year for a date at the Nordbahnhof. The inner city though, it's bad.. As immigrants ourselves we never understood, why Germany doesn't have a much stricter immigration policy. Everyone can come and even when they should leave they still stay most of the time. The economy is in a downfall too. Politics ruined this country, there's just no money anymore and most people barely have any.

No wonder! Germany lost five million men in WW2 - and many young German women married American military men. What happened? Getting married and raising a family was rejected in favor of the "Me." generation, birth control pills and abortion on demand in all Western countries. America's birthrate went from 2.5 in the 1980s down to 1.6 by 2024 - and this is high compared to the birthrate in Europe. At this rate of decline mankind die out in couple of centuries.

I was there last Oct and absolutely loved it, and the German buildings there that was built during 1898 to 1914 by the Germans are still intact and in fantastic condition. Qingdao is also famous for its beer since the Germans introduced it to China during their occupation. It also just occurred to me that these German buildings built over a century ago in Qingdao survived WWII so that makes it all the more cooler. www.reddit.com/r/CityPorn/comments/13c8wyy/this_is_qingdao_the_most_german_city_in_china/#:~:text=Qingdao%2C%20or%20Schantung%20Halbinsel%20in,by%20the%20Republican%20Chinese%20government.

Yeah sure. Shops opening = Bad for the city. So where are the great German shops opening? Oh, wait, that's right: Most german consumers couldn't give less of a shit if their city dies if it means they can get everything cheap and easy at the cheap shopping centers at the edge of the town, at more glamorous shopping centers (for example the westerfield centro in Oberhausen for that sepcific region of germany) or even better from amazon. In the end: _"Geiz ist geil"_ right? Moreover, for most middle class germans live doesn't take place in the cities anymore. It takes place outside in the sprawling suburbs. Therefore, why should most people in germany even bother? Just blaming laborous immigrants, that risk failure in their buisness ventures all around the nation won't solve the "problem". There is not really a "problem" because we are a free market and people decide how they want to allocate their money and people decided *not* to spend it at cities, letting empty retail space exist that won't be taken care of *which* at the same time becomes more and more expensive due to inflation and investors trying to get their money worth. Everything works as planned. There is not really a "problem" but the shit system we decided on works as intended. However, economics never was the strong suite of the german populus.

Ich bin Jahrgang 59 und in Krefeld aufgewachsen. Die Stadt stand in voller Blüte, all diese Orte waren überaus belebt und attraktiv. Als Kind dachte ich, das könne nicht anders sein. Mit dem Stadtbad in der Neusser Straße verbinde ich gruselige Erinnerungen, weil da immer der Schwimmunterricht meiner Schule (damals Fichte-Gymnasium) stattfand. Von dem Chlorwasser wurde regelmäßig der Hälfte der Klasse schlecht. Neusser Straße und Hochstraße waren überaus beliebte Fußgängerzonen und an verkaufsoffenen Samstagen (einmal im Monat!) total überfüllt. Der legendäre Treffpunkt UDU (unter der Uhr) erzeugte täglich einen Massenauflauf von langhaarigen Oberstufenschülern jedweden Geschlechts. Ok, damals gab es nur zwei. Those were the days. Ich höre mit Freude durch dein leicht dialektgefärbtes Englisch den unverkennbaren Krefelder Tonfall hindurch. Nur wir können auf diese vernuschelte Art "Brötschen" sagen. Manches ist eben doch nicht tot zu kriegen. In jedem Fall vielen Dank an dich für diesen nostalgischen Einblick in eine abgestürzte Stadt .

I sensed Germany changing to the worse as much as 14, 15 years ago. I am from Austria and when I was younger, my dad and I used to drive to Munich once every year to visit the "Deutsches Museum" (a huge world-renowned museum for the history of engineering which always fascinated both of us). It must have been around the year 2010 when I first noticed that many of the exhibits had fallen into disrepair, and plenty of the explanatatory labels were missing or were torn in their places. What´s more, the whole very impressive place had turned a bit dingy. I haven´t gone there since for many reasons and I won´t be going anytime soon. Most probably they have cleaned it all up by now and the museum is back to its former self. But somehow that experience shocked me and I remember thinking: If the Germans of all people become sloppy and start cutting corners, the world as we know it will be coming to an end soon. Maybe this is happening now.

While it's not as bad here as for example in Krefeld, Duisburg or Gelsenkirchen, the decay is still quite visible here as well. Even though the city is relatively small, with somewhere around 70,000 residents, its city center alone has already like 10 barbers, 2 shisha stores, 5 phone shops, 9 nail salons, 5 casinos, 11 discounter chains, 2 thrift stores, lots of retirement homes (which most people can't afford despite the city's rapidly aging population), a dirty and dangerous bus station, lots of stray shopping carts scattered around and of course, at least 7 vacant businesses and abandoned buildings. Not to mention, at least 35 businesses in my entire hometown had to close down within the last 10 years (including a cinema) and those are just the ones that I managed to count.

Aber wenn ich mal Lust auf Großstadt hab, dann hab ich das Autobahn Kreuz direkt in der Nähe und fahr dann etwas über ner Stunde oder so. Also in etwa wie mit dem Berliner Ring. Da denkt man in Berlin ja auch nicht groß nach. Also wieviel Zeit man eigentlich dauernd braucht um irgendwo hin zu kommen. So vom normalen Einkaufen her bin ich in 15 bis 20 Minuten bei allen möglichen Geschäften. Und ins Grüne in 5 bis 10 Minuten. Das Schönste ist, dass alle Behörden recht klein sind und man eigentlich fast nie warten muss. Die Leute nehmen sich Zeit. Das war ich schon gar nicht mehr gewohnt! In meinem kleinen Kaff wo ich gelandet bin, hat mich sogar der Bürgermeister persönlich besucht und Willkommen geheißen. Da war ich überrascht. Gut, hab mir da nen kleines altes Häuschen gekauft und renovier das. Man findet hier tatsächlich Schnäppchen, die man herrichten kann. Zum Vergleich. Meine vorige 2 Zimmer Wohnung im Neubau mit Index Miete war teurer als die Kosten für das Haus. Kann mir jetzt von der Differenz sogar was zurück legen. Wäre ich nicht solo hätte ich vermutlich eher nen Baugrundstück gekauft und gebaut. Das lohnt sich mit Familie, weils da auch noch Bauzuschuss von der Landesregierung gibt wenns Kinder gibt. Und das funktioniert sogar. Haus ist da auch besser als Wohnung weil man dann sich Solar mit Speicher aufs Dach kaufen kann. Das senkt tatsächlich die Stromkosten.

Its normal. Cities have their golden age for some decade, two, sometimes even three and then the opportunities and coolness happenes in a different city. You cant expect any city to be great, bustling and rich for hundreds of years. Its a normal cycle in economy and development. This is nothing new, its funny that people with zero knowledge of history think that its something new or special for today. Also people are talking about "decline of western civilization and its doom" since 19th century. You can literally read in the press that influential people in like 1890 press claimed that the western civ will colllapse in 10, max 20 years, meanwhile it has grown so many times far above anyone expectations.

Great document, I love channels like this. Honestly, the only solution is for rent to be cheaper, either by enforcing rent controls or expropriating the locations. Making a plan for cheap retail rent with the obligation to stay for five years or so, and that will recover the city. But that needs money, and Germany doesn't want to spend due to austerity.
