I’ve done a video about my hometown Krefeld seven months ago, and they showed how my city was dying lots of stores, or a business. This video went viral. So I had to return to Germany and do an update video to see if the situation got worse through the high inflation, gas price, electric price, the situation actually worsend it looks like even more stores went out of business. I hope the city can recover. This is where I grew up and it’s really sad to see how everything looks so bad in the city.
You can see the downfall of western society in every country😢
Yep, when ghetto culture arrives
The aristocrats and governments are raising taxes and suppressing wages. Own nothing and be happy..
There is a reason. 'New' residents don't care about living in clean well kept cities.
This is an exception in Germany. Majority of the most livable cities in the world are located in Nordic countries and German speaking countries.
They did it to themselves!
I worked in Southern Germany on construction about 30 years ago l thought to myself what a beautiful country and the people I met were very welcoming such a shame to see it now it’s the same here in the UK, why are the governments allowing this to happen shame on them
To be honest, the south of Germany is still quite nice even today. The video shows a typical city in the west.
My friend governments allmoust in every country in Europe they are gang liders imposters and butchers they should be put behind the bars . They brought immigrants in milions to Europe and America did that to Europe for purpose to destroy Europe. Putin looks like the egnel when you comper all that
These are ---- even if we don't think of it as part of it --- really just small aspects of the way of ENTROPY. Entropy doesn't just happen in "nature," by which we erroneously think we're not part of; but we ARE a part of entropy, too, as both individuals and communities. Rome, Paris, San Francisco, New York, London, Berlin, Shanghai, Beijing, Athens.... they all were once pristine...
And then they became settled, and they became crowded and dirty and smelly... and, then, later, as governments became more organized, nations became more developed, with better technologies and more wealth, these major urban cities were developed and made better... and then around the edges, wear and tears started again, with more people, more poverty, more crimes...
And, then, eventually .... EVERY SINGLE one of these major, sophisticated cities will RETURN to dilapidated, abandoned places... to be reclaimed by nature again.... like the majestic Angkor Wat, the Mayan and Aztec cities, from southern Mexico to Peru... to the mighty Egyptians and Sumerian/ Mesopotamians early civilizations.
Not sure why people think that is NOT the most NATURAL way of how things operate in the Universe, including here on good ole Earth...
People who say bullshit things like "It's THE OTHER LOW CLASS people who are ruining everything, because in my youth, none of this decay existed..." are just COMPLETE IDIOTS, at best; at worst, they are uneducated racists.
Things go up and they come down; but it takes decades & centuries & sometimes even millenniums; but they DO decay and return to nature (lower state of energy, lower state of organization) eventually.... just like OUR OWN bodies, marvelous, wondrous biological machines that start to break down once we complete our celluar growth process.... in our late 20s... by our late 30s to late 40s muscle and bone break downs have started. And the break down completes by the time we are in our 70s to 90s...
And we return to the very basic molecular and atomic constituents from which we're original assembled...
@@kiabtoomlauj6249 It is not entropy. It is because the people who operate these places could never have built them in the first place. It is the difference between founding and inheriting. If you build something from the ground up, you know the business inside and out. If you are just given something with earning it, you will slowly let all the wheels fall off.
@@caesars7hills892 yes a sort of social entropy.. possibly it will be rebuilt again in 50 years but it is sad to see
I remember Germany from the 90s. Cleanliness and order on the streets was amazing. It was incredibly safe too.
Today it looks quite different
You clearly haven't been to Berlin in the 1990s then.
Frankly, behind every central station there is a ghetto where you can zoom in on grafitti and the garbage piles. That is the same all over the world at any time. That's where new arrivals to the city dwelled in the middle ages too. In Detroit or Cincinatti I proably would be robbbed in borad daylight where the shiv gang tags are on the walls. Us ranks 36th between South Africa and Azerbaijan on violence. 7th on police killing between El Salvador and Niigeria. Germany is still on the totally other end of the spectrum. I f I want chaos behind a central station I'll find it way more easily in any other place but Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Scandinavia. Germany is one of the safest places in the world.
@@voster77hh You clearly haven't been to the central stations of Hamburg, Frankfurt or Berlin, man. If you would call that safe compared to what it used to be like, I can't help you.
Why should Germany compare itself with literal shitholes like ANC-ruled South Africa who is literally murdering and butchering the people that grow their food?
yeah plus our rivalry was fun to me (dutch neighbor) those pretend problems where bliss xD
@@mikeforester3963 every capitol city is a shit stain compared to the rest of the country saying you don't know the netherlands because you haven't seen amsterdam in the 90's as just as stupid of a remark! ofcourse berlin was unsafe back then so was amsterdam paris rome new york etc!
I grew up in the 80s and 90s, in an atmosphere of antipathy towards Germany. Many WWII witnesses were still alive then. But on the other hand, I admired and envied Germany for its economic miracle. This country seemed like paradise to me. German shops published shopping catalogues, they were thick books, they got to Poland. The kids spent hours looking through these catalogs and it was such a big WOW, today everything is more even. Regarding your video, the reason stores are out of business is Amazon, Ebay, etc. Everyone is buying online these days. Nevertheless, something bad is happening all over the world, most of the cities are rotting.
Germany's "economic miracle" was cheap , gas, oil, fuel and power from?...from?...you bet! Their Russian friend.
While people across Europe were paying 210 dollars per 1000m³ of gas, "economic miracle" was paying 40 dollars. Quite a miracle.
While buying that cheap gas from Russia, was taking free gas from Romania because EU is a big family and family members must help each other, not ripping off each other.
Romania used to be a self sustainable energetic nation, but now has to give gas for free to Germany, while Germany takes gas from Russia for 40 dollars 1000m³ , and sell it to Romania for 240 dollars 1000m³
Yes, a true economic miracle.
That "economic miracle" killed the entire EU economy and part of US economy.
The western world
@@stickfeelingsoviets had nothing to do with this. This is completely the fault of western liberal capitalism
@Stig Feeling Eastern Europe has less rotten areas than the West, North America included. But they always blame communism.😂
Too many ciapate in germany, big problem.
The Döner stores are there for other reasons, like the Spilotheken, Barbershops, Betoffices, this is all mainly for washing money
Döner guys workinig smarter not harder
Doing what most europeans want to do in avoiding taxes.
Yeah lots of them also run the drug market and other shady things and some only got the money to open those stores by those things
it is like 6 doner shops of a little street, what German government do, they close their eyes? Or you are dumb?
Tut mir leid lieber Freund! Krefeld ist nicht allein. Uberall im Westen das gleiche Lied. Kopf hoch, alles Gute! Mike - England
The decline of the West, so some nutjobs can try to remake it in their utopian mindsets.
Great video! I grew up in Krefeld. It has never been a beautiful city by any standard, but seeing the current state of it is really shocking. I'm so glad I moved away many years ago. Every time I visit there I promise myself to never return. So many drug addicts, prostitutes and criminals... I hope you and your mother stay safe.
My family was from Krefeld and lived there many years until a man named William Penn talked them into traveling to Philadelphia back in the 1680's. Sad to see this sort of decline, but, honestly, it's worldwide. . .
Renaissance traders are turning in their graves while watching this video.
@Curious Rex, Countries in the Far-East have not seen this rate of decline. Perhaps it has something to do with being colonized and learning from past mistakes. The colonizers were mostly from European countries which do not have much natural resources and therefore resorted to colonialism to 'steal' those resources to enrich themselves. The decline in Europe is mostly karma biting back.
@@iaam8141 The opium wars where Britain sent opium from Afganistan to China and other far east countries made those countries really tough on drugs. When I travelled to singapore everyone on the plane gets a card stating that Singapore has death penalty for drug dealers and smugglers. if you are not tough on drugs and on crime society starts to devolve slowly at first and then more rapidly.
Excuse me, not in the Far East.
China is thriving.
Same here in the UK. Business is booming in Ukraine though!
Venice is where i grew up and with to school. Still proud, but didn't know that parts of Germany is having the same problems as we are. What a shame for the people there. Hope you haven't left us in Venice as I watch to see what happens in our neck of the woods. So with that , thank you for all the info you give to us.
The people will have to make things happen if the government continues ruin everything. Closing the border would be a nice start.
Its the American system, imposed in the West by the AngloWorld. It’s a failed system imposed by the force or arms and money by a failed society called United States of America. So we can say Americans have ruined every country they have colonized including the UK. Only Japan still survives this imposed globalization.
In a 15 minute city you don't need a car that's why there is no parking spots
As an english lad with a german mother.. I cant believe and am saddened by germany now.. I visited Braunschweig every two yrs from 1962..you need to stop the decline.
Tolles Video, Michael! Früher hätte ein Reporter eine aufwendige Reportage gemacht - mit Interviews und Studien als Grundlage. Doch jemand wie du, jemand mit gesundem Menschenverstand, kann die Missstände auch sehen und interpretieren. Die Bürger von Krefeld können es sehen! Trotzdem werden so viele falsche Entscheidungen getroffen und Steuergelder verschwendet. Es ist deprimierend, aber umso großartiger, dass du deine Heimatstadt so kritisch betrachtest.
Many churches are being turned into mosques now in Europe. Wanna get rich? Open a Burqa store. But Trump was attacked for talking about it.

your government poor policies and immigration destroyed your country like many others.
Ich war letztens noch in Maastricht, nur eine Fahrtstunde von Krefeld.Dort haben die Menschen sich noch nicht aufgegeben, dachte ich ein wenig polemisch. Sauber, freundlich und voller Leben. Aber Lokalpolitik macht einen Unterschied, eine halbe Stunde östlich von Maastricht liegt Aachen, noch schlimmer daran als Krefeld, trotz Universität und schöner kleiner Altstadt. Dort hatte ich den Eindruck, die haben die städtische Gesellschaft wirklich total an die Wand gefahren.
From experience, whenever things like that are never fixed for that long time including Graffiti being around for a long time, damaged streets never fixed etc. means there is corruption in the local government and embezzlement. Also People being hired because of there ethnicity and gender and not hiring people that are actually qualified and experienced.
@@fu9793 Pennsylvania is very German heritage!
Big time....example the glass ceiling....
It's not local corruption it's the total lack of money to fix these problems. They need all the money to give all these illegal immigrants proper apartments, health care, welfare.... That's why the majority wants to come to Germany because our government takes all of them in and asks no questions. Criminals, IS, everything. And they get A LOT of money the more children they have. And most of them have many children or make more as soon as they are here. Germany is on a downward spiral. Our local government prefers "refugees" over their own people. And I am not talking about people who really need help and are actual refugees. Most of them are economic refugees. They want a life paid by others and they get it in Germany. 😑
I recently visited your city, Krefeld. Whatever you said is 100% correct. 😢
Aging population, lack of community, people moving to bigger cities or better opportunities... easy solution is drugs for some people... What happened in China in Opium War. Happening here too... Only way to do something is use drastic measures. What do you expect. When you are too stuck in your own mind (system), how do you expect to change towards good life...
I live in Krefeld for 30 years. And he showed Krefeld as it is.
How about interviewing some of the locals ? Get their opinion of the town. Great videos, keep them going, thanks
You won‘t find anyone speaking German
I know places just like that here. People are losing their roots. Globalization is horrible. Western society is committing suicide. What they couldn’t do using a wall or violent revolution they are doing with a slow march through institutions. “You will own nothing and you will be happy” World Economic Forum.
at least it is not like the Frankfurt rail station yet. I grew up in Krefeld and was on a visit 2019 ( I live in Australia since a long time). The downtown was depressing, nothing what I was used to. The decline was visible at every corner in the inner city. This video gives a glimpse ot it
Used to live in Homberg not far away from Krefeld. A kid then.., but still having a beautiful memory around Duisburg.
Watching through your clip, it seems there are quite a lot of none-Germans in presence.
Looks like, it's kind of related to the sudden burst of refugee problems in Germany. don't you think?
Most people know what the problem is yet there is no stopping this from happen to every town and city.
The city I am in now brought 300 Africans in. The large indoor mall is now closing due to thefts from Indian and Mediterranean people. Two years ago prosperity now 3rd world.
Blacks are the ones doing the crimes and being released from jails early.
Time for a good old-fashioned racist rant…

@@mikemiller659 meaningless twaddle.
Whose truth?
Who says it fits?
Typical racist nonsense.
Enough!
When I worked in the city parks department and saw taggings on the park facilities, we used a stuff called chemseal. After getting getting the graffiti off we would spray the chemseal on so next time someone tags the wall it wouldn't stick and it come right off with a pressure washer. Too bad the city worker in Krefeld don't know about that stuff.
It's growing world wide. I see it in my city. I see it all over. decline an poverty, crime is everywhere. Far from over
How did they ever think that bus shelter was a good idea.With that money you could have a station with heat and comfort for the passengers.
My theory is that kickbacks were involved.
@@jonathanandrew2909 usually comes with deals from Spain.
Even Mexico barely kicked out Iberdrola electric company for charging more per household than for enterprises per gigawatt and providing 0 maintenance lackluster service to which the federal electric company had to pick up the slack on that end.
I was in Krefeld in 1972, I was 12 and dont remember much. I do know it was a well cared for city back then. This is really sad to see!
That was also just 32 years from the end of WW2. Germany was in the middle of a economic boom miracle from having to rebuild the country from scratch. Those days are over now and many little post war industrial towns are gonna get hit hard. Especially with giant and economically vibrant Dusseldorf right next door. People are gonna go where the Universities and jobs are. And that aint Krefeld unfortunately. If they want to re-invigor that place, instead of building a 24 million dollar bus station there, build a 50 million dollar university there. That will attract students, and new businesses from the new economic growth. I mean, this is just basic MBA 101 level stuff here folks
I was heartbroken when I went back to my place of birth, Oxford, for the first time in 40 years. My safe little estate looked like a third world hell-hole. Why are spray paints even on sale to anyone except a few occupations that need them?
I feel your pain and a good point, I've been asking that myself but the answer is that they have forced us to embrace this by euphenisize vandalism in the 80s, as graffiti. Like it is some sort of art form, there is some art form to it yes, but very rarely. Tagging words over objects is not art. Like a DJ mixiing two classic songs together, add a dance beat, plaster his name all over it.
It`s one of my pet hates. When I was a fireman we taught that grafitti was a precursor to worse vandalism and arson.
@@generalkawasaki9485
Nice documentary. Strange times. I am in a similliar situation. Spend the last 25 years mostly abroad but still have my self owned flat in Berlin. Berlin made of course a rather rise through the years. But still you can feel and see the decline of Western society. I maybe should do a vlogg as well. Everything is so sad. No real energy left.😥
They got rid of the parking in my downtown and it killed the already struggling retail businesses. Who comes up with those kind of ideas?
The EU with their extremist climate religion comes up with this crap. They are destroying the economy with their policies and it will only get worse when we get closer to 2030.
WEF
Seems to be a similar pattern in many other European and US towns though....noticed a lot more litter,graffiti and dumping of rubbish etc now a general lack of respect for the environment around us now.Noticed a real change in people's attitudes now in the last 10 or 15 years in particular.
This is what happens when you allow any and everybody to enter your country. My hometown in Italy is a Muslim area now and crime is outta control.
It was once said “If you build a Mosque, they will come”.
It is all over Europe like this...... Interesting video Mike ...... actually quite captivating ..... the alternative press...
Come to Poland. You will see how the country develops.
I've lived in Sutton, south London for over 20 years. When I first moved here it was a vibrant and clean place. In the last 10 years everything has changed. Businesses have closed and the high street is now full of fast food outlets, betting shops, charity shops and shops that sell items for a £1 or less. The council are absolutely useless. I see dirty streets and graffitti, I see derelict buildings. I do see plenty of parking wardens ticketing people for £60 trying to do their shopping. Basically, the town has been destroyed by bad management and that's what you see everywhere in the UK now, places blighted by bad management. I also see a changing demographic of people living here. I'm English and some days I walk about and all I see are foreigners. It's all gone horribly wrong somewhere along the way.
As in the U.S., England has surrendered it’s moral law to an “ilk” of the worst sort, a people who despise Christianity and Western Civilization. For me to even say who would be for me to have my account canceled. For YOU to say would have you fined or arrested. This is the state we now live. We are not to even address the problem. What was the moral law in 🏴 England? It was certainly Christian. England’s oath sworn Queen did NOT protect Christ’s Church and Her subjects, as did Her forerunners, instead She served Her subject’s labor [true wealth] on a silver platter to these parasites through continuous state sponsored usury. I’m not Roman Catholic, but this has been going on since the Protestant Reformation’s looting operation of the Roman Catholic Church. Scotland now has a non Scottish Muslim Parliament member promoting it’s independence from Britain! England and the U.S. has to teach these immigrants and their children English (no second languages) and our original “common law” values, otherwise you become them.
I think this is global, here in Chile, there are more haitians, colombia and venezuela people than the real chileans, plus dominicans, peruvians, grafitis everywhere, food vending in public spaces, etc.,; they bring along their own culture and seems to have no intention to adapt themselves to our countries, it is terrible. I believe is the Onu Agenda 2030 0:06
100% agree that something has gone wrong. I recently left London to return to my home-town in the midlands, and it's the same here. The buildings are run down, streets are strewn with litter, and even the road signs are filthy. It's almost like people have stopped caring. Very sad indeed.

Perhaps rose-colored glasses from my youth, but traveling throughout West Germany in the mid-70s I rarely recall any disorder, rubbish, and graffiti in the public spaces. It is sad to see the cities gutted and hallowed out (same here in the States), where are the economic drivers going to come from?
Germany was a lot better in the 1930s/40s.

Very true
Because Europe, and the UK, allowed the worlds' vagrants to simply walk in. The problem is, they've brought all their problems and bad ideas with them.
Build a great country and let the foreigners in a nation state. Stupid Germans gave away their country to turkis Muslims. Shame on the Germans.
They should kick them all out. Germany needs to get tough on immigration.

Es sieht zum Glück noch nicht überall so aus. NRW und Berlin waren schon immer arme Bundesländer. Mit der Massenmigration von 2015 bis heute sowie die aktuelle Finanzkrise, 2 Jahre Corona und Kriegsbeteiligung am Ukraine-Krieg verarmt und verdreckt Deutschland.

like you man. Real and chill, just talking the truth about what you see. No bullshit in your videos, its perf finally
The problem with large cities is if crime is not punished, even the small ones like graffiti & petty theft, the people doing the majority of crimes will not stop and it ruins the fabric of society. The problems of NYC, LA, Chicago will come to Krefeld if the mayor and police look the other way.
Its similar to a mental illness
what can they do under such tight regulations? graffiti can be stopped in a day if they installed camera but then no body wants camera.
@@param888 funny how we didn’t need cameras in the past to keep our cities clean and crime down. Democratic policies of being light on criminals and protecting criminals more then the victims is the problem. You know back in the day vandalizing property would get you your ass kicked and arrested. Now days people can’t even protect their property because criminals have more protection then those who they are harming. Go to cities where people have the right to protect themselves and their property and crime is low because criminals know there is consequences right away and the government stands behind its citizens to protect them selves and their property.
I wouldn't take it personal with the mayor. You are walking around the town showing how it is and telling the truth. No matter what part of the world you're in, the mayor is a politician, and they don't like the truth. Keep up with the good work of keeping it real.
Problem is you can find what you need on the internet but not in a store usually I live in San Diego

Palletshelter, a Washington-based firm, can build a village of 60 in ten days. Each shelter could cost $5500. There are already 300 developments, 175 in CA, 75 in OR and 50 in WA.
It's shocking for me to see a German city in decay. Not how I remember things in the 1980's.
The vAT value added tax in Germany is 19.5 % on a car, TV, fridge, coach. 7 % on food. 19 % on drinks.
Amazon is taking over, you can order anything and not leave your safe house. You risk your life anytime you go shopping. Scary times we live in.
True. Plus, many stores only stock a few things. They would rather you order it from their warehouse so they don’t have to stock it on the shelves. They like to stock the cheaper items.
Yeah stores closing and moving online. It's not that dramatic. Building stand unoccupied and fall Apart.
Its Ruined SO many jobs
I see civilization is collapsing in Germany, too.
A prime example of the Broken Window theory - vandalism and urban decay invites further decay, until no-one bothers to try fix the root of the problem
We need to send more money to Ukraine.
And let everybody in, who cant Read or write, but handle a knife...
What is the relevance? This is not happening because of lack of money, Germany is one if the richest countries in Europe, its literally related to de-industrialization in the ruhr and a recession. eastern Germany has the same issues but has no immigration nor does it have the industry anymore
very interesting. i visited your city summer of 1976. i was a teenager then. my uncle used to live there. i used it as a base to do day trips to aachen, dusseldorf, cologne, frankfurt, belguim, netherlands, luxemburg. i spent some time at the public swimming pool complex, played minigolf, i went to a great playland type of place at a driving distance and did some rides. then i went to pubs. i did see some british soldiers there. i met some friendly germans who wanted to practice their english with me. i was introduced to a great beer named alt. best beer i had, we dont have that beer here in canada. it was nice clean lively friendly city. i am extremely shocked with these pictures i am looking at in this video. what happened? why? it was a good youth adventure and memory for me. i still keep pictures from those days.
online stores need to be permanentty closed for people to return life to the cities
Really Germany? That Germany presented as TOP European most rich country? Looks like something is wrong with Germany.
Sanctions backfired! No more cheap Russian gas for German Industry! Germany circling the toilet bowl 😢!
Are you seriously judging Germany by having seen Krefeld in a video? I think you’re a bit superficial, don’t you think?

Hi Mike! It is a sad thing to see how the world is suffering but even more so after the pandemic! I Pray that the world can recover from this! The reason businesses are dying I believe is because the prices of everything has skyrocketed since the pandemic and in return businesses boost their prices ridiculously and people can’t afford to buy much from their stores and they shut down eventually, but I feel there is no excuse for people tearing properties up with graffiti and breaking things to take things that don’t belong to them it is a sad sad thing to watch!😣😞 Also Mike you better be very careful about where you go to film things it is not worth your life just to get content! I believe that the reason why the city doesn’t fix anything up much is because they spend a lot of money repairing, painting and rebuilding just for people to tear it up again!!🤷♀️🤦♀️👎AnyWho Thank You for sharing and as always please tell your Mom I said hello! TSCHUESSING!!🤍🤍🤍
Wow. We have plenty of decayed centres in the UK but this looks even worse. I didn't think there was anywhere as bad as this in Germany. Especially in the west.
Literally the conception of the GIV! I do miss you.
Mmm...
Good work mate. Greetings from South Australia. I was in Germany in 1977....no closed shops, no graffiti, everyone looked happy and prosperous....perhaps this is progress? 😢
I stayed at an old army barracks in Krefeld back in 1981 , beautiful place as I remember , shame it's got that way
I enjoyed travelling and working in Germany, France, Netherlands and Belgium before it became "enriched". Now everywhere is "kebab", the diversity of nations is gone.
Seems a particular group of people moved in and the city went to crap. Sucks to see.
Some people dont Respect the country because its not thiers.
I have a feeling that too much individualism causes societies to break down at the end.
mr giv i know how you feel no one has respect for property any were usa or germany such a shame was not like that in germany 40 yrs ago when i lived there well my home town is dearborn michigan its now an arab city i hate that to well i love your videos keep them coming thanks for the hard work you do
It's all you bro it's your attitude it's really good and you tell it like it is
As someone living just 50 miles away I see that happening in all towns here in western Germany. Take the part of my city for example. The ruling social democrats and the greens wanted to build tram that absolutely nobody needed because we already had a dozens busses and a well connect train station as public transportation. But you know trams are supposed to be eco friendly and help replace cars (as if). The whole eastern part of the city was a construction site for 10 years. Stores closed en masse, those that survived went out of business once the corona virus came along. The whole area is now like a ghost town, you can't even buy groceries anymore, people need to order their food online. Empty stores everywhere, anyone who can, leaves this place which ironically makes the ruling parties very happy because there are now enough vacant buildings to house the immigrants. I am unfortunately a handicapped person without the means to move, otherwise I would have left a long time ago. Only the old, sick and poorly educated remain. The only reason this place barely survives is the money that comes from the federal government to pay all the people on welfare. The city itself is broke, I wonder if they ever realize why. I used to fear death when I was younger, now I consider it merci.
"The dreams in which I'm dying . . . " is from a Tears For Fears song: "Mad World." Great song. Sad to see your hometown in such a state. Are you back in Germany or was this taken the last time you were there?
It's still summer. Guess it's from months ago
Thank you for showing what nobody wants to be seen.
Mike I know you. I used to live as a child in Gartenstadt right opposite Elfrath. Now for the last 23 years I live in the US. And before the US, I have lived 10 years in the UK. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Mike, Krefeld is finished for good. Kaputt.. Now you can call Krefeld the DonerKrefeld.
All the buildings look as if they were built in the 1960s - true? - but not attractive. Wouldn't be a great loss to knock it down and start again.
Same in my city in france, also a lot of clothes stores and brands are bankrupt..
This is coming slowly to north Europe too. And people pretend all is fine. Incredible!
System. No hope. Dak will always win. Death is stronger then life. Always wins
no one in Germany demonstrate on the street nowadays which was still often around 15 years ago. Because everyone sees that demonstration has no meaning.
US started all this mess.if you think about it.
What is coming to Germany( north Europe)?this video seems to be about going not coming
@@martin840909 They have been protesting every week during covid and after !
Wow, even the mayor of Krefeld watched your video. And the WZ wanted to interview you! That’s quite impressive. Your awesome videos get the attention they deserve.
Good, bring back Uncle Addy. Germany and this tubby are an embarrassment. Germany is a vassal state
Instead of fixing the place… he wants to entertain our misery
tell the mayer it is over for his city
@@worldstar907 The mayer says Krefeld is a great place. He does not understand why people talking bad about Krefeld. According to him and the other politicians Krefeld has just a bad image because bad or stupid people talk bad about it. But it is a great place with many nice and charming places and streets. Indead there are no real problems.
Politicians live in a other dimension. Or they are so used to lie, they realy believe there own lies.
In 1982 Germany was a paradise. I can't believe how things have changed.
A false paradise. Invaded, divided, enslaved. Oh, and I guess that by "Germany" you mean West Germany, that larger chunk of a mutilated land torn apart by the jewish war. German "prosperity" and cleanliness was a lie, and the same tribe which caused Germany´s destruction was already scheming for making of her the load of rubbish she is today ....
Hi ,, 👋 your rite , I was a kid back then but I remember Germany was great for work ,, everything was different
The West shipped all of its industry to China and then the West wonders why the peoples of the West are poor -- while China is filled with new gleaming skyscrapers.
Norway was a paradice too in 1982 . I also cant belive what happened......
@@tomerikrasmussen7507 I bet, the Politics in your country, like in Germany, Sweden, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Italy asow weren't so happy with the boring, local culture?
Same in the UK. This world is in a mess.
That´s what you get for boarding America´s adventure in Ukraine. You should have stuck with the Minsk Accords. But no, you had to board Biden´s crazy train...
So what is the cause of the problem?
Germany is not in the same mess as the UK. The UK left the EU and is paying for it
@@TML0677 Firstly, the illegal immigration killed the western countries.
Secondly, specifically to Germany, it got CHEAP gas and petrol from the URSS and then from Russia for many decades then corrupted politicians followed the US's war mentality and boycotted the primary CHEAP resource that is needed to run the factories.
Still now the corrupted and bribed (traitors) politicians are waging wars on China and Russia instead of maintaining good diplomatic relations and exchange of CHEAP goods!
Western world is in a mess. There are countries getting better.
Wow, globalization at its finest! My hats off to you sir for your brutal honesty.
Everything is going to shit because people are mentally handicapped and easily controlled. Just use meaningless words like "woke", "globalism" etc. and the sheep happily go to slaughter, all their negativity directed at an unreachable, ephemeral nothing and not the people slaughtering them - the rich who get richer off of the poverty of the people, which leads to sights like this.
I’ve said it in his last video that was filmed in Germany from several months ago that if Germany keeps following the US’s orders to support every war that the US wanted to wage against other superpowers, such as China and Russia, then Germany will follow the US into the sewers! The evidence that backs what I said is in the video! But the main difference between the US and Germany is the fact that Germany is going to suffer much more than the US since the US is Germany’s master and, because of such, the master is going to let its follower take all of the falls first before it takes a fall itself, which would only happen if the master has nobody else to take a fall for it! The US is ironing out a scheme to force most of Germany’s largest companies to move their business operations to the US so the hardship is only going to get much worse for Germany! Right now in Washington, DC the American politicians are rubbing their hands together in eager anticipation for Mercedes-Benz, BMW, BASF, Merck, etc to move their factories to the good old USA! The Ukraine War, they said, will soon reap the US major economic boom for not only would the US would be able to take over Ukraine’s natural resources and companies as payments by Ukraine to the US for helping Ukraine to pay for its war against Russia, but the US would also be able to take over Germany’s corporations as well since the costs of manufacturing anything in Germany would be astronomical due to the skyrocketing fuel prices as a result of the US’s blowing up Germany’s Nord Stream Gas Pipelines! You know, those gas pipelines that used to bring cheap Russian gas to Germany? German companies won’t be able to compete against other companies from around the world if they have to rely on gas shipped from the US with a rate that is set at 4-5 times more expensive than Russian gas! Boy, do those Americans know how to set a trap! Who says they are stupid?
It's not globalization. It's climate policy. In Europe, it is not profitable to produce anything because of taxes on emissions.
@@imho4990 BUAHAHAHA from one idiocy to another. I swear, it's just like what ever propaganda you idiots encounter first sticks.

I used to know a woman, who's now in her 60's who also grew up in Germany, she said that people there regularly scrubbed their sidewalks and stairway it used to be kept so clean. How sad that the classic German village is dissolving, like many others I assume.
'Diversity' destroys all it touches.
@@freedomisslavery6840 Damn right.
Krefeld is a city and a center of industry, not a village
Thats not even considered a village
Terrible it looks like there’s no mayor. They need to enforce anti graffiti paint. I’m from London. I know Germans are tough of keeping their streets clean.
Globalism has been devastating to many communities :(
We never should of let them get this far. Everything is incremental when it comes to globalists taking over every aspect of our lives. It is best that people be getting out of cities.
Explain how a few abandoned buildings is a globalist problem?
It's the agenda.
Mostly the "diversity"
White liberals have destroyed the world
Looks like Krefeld is getting a lot of vibrant diversity.
Krefeld actually has a lot of things to offer, and migrants are pretty much what is keeping it alive.
@@brrrt6666 I stayed there for 10 months. It literally has nothing to offer whatsoever and there are more foreigners than German people on the streets. I dont mind foreigers obviously, but if they are the majority it feels weird.
@@fh2234 cycling infrastructure is good, rent is cheap, nightlife is alright, it's pretty safe, there's good places to enjoy a variety of foods, lots of green spaces and it's in the centre of the greater metropolitan area with good enough public transportation. It's better than its reputation really, especially the cycling infrastructure, have I talked about the cycling infrastructure?
@@brrrt6666 The German taxpayer through support and housing payments from the German government to the migrants which allows them to live in Krefeld is what is keeping Krefeld alive. The native Germans have long ago been replaced in many occupations by the migrants who are only able to survive with handouts from the government who pay for them with the taxes of the native Germans.
@@fh2234 I think it's alright, better than gladbach, love the borussia though.
I read the history of your city on Wikipedia, very interesting. Sad to see so much decay and homeless people, and business’s closed down. I never thought a town in Germany would be like this 😮
Duisburg (nearby his city) is even worse. There are tons of cities like this in germany. Especially in this region (Ruhrgebiet aka "Ruhrpott")
@@TonyRedgrave1501 Yes sad, being here in the USA, I mean it everywhere and also sad to see
Lol every country has poor / ugly cities, what did you think 😅
@@starseed8087 Well u know thy always show Germany as a very advanced country, etc lol
So many men sitting on the sidewalks, mostly young men. Very much like in cities in the US. So surprised to see this in Germany. I think a lot of the empty storefronts are from high retail rents and duplicate "luxury" goods stores that you see in every town. But I'm surprised about the Kaufhof!
"The dreams in which I am dying, are the best I ever had" is a brilliant line from Tears for Fears' song Mad World.
JAYDEN rILEY DOES A GREAT RENDITION OF THIS SONG
Opioid addiction that what it does to you don’t be fooled that is what happens to you addicted to heroin and fentanyl !!!! Those dreams…. Horror!!!!
I quickly googled that lyric and sure enough that's what it was.
I was in Genoa about 4 years back and there was a street parallel to the ocean that was a no go zone. The graffiti sign read no police allowed. It had mostly Bangladeshi and African immigrants. The hotel receptionist said no one goes there and locals are moving out. First day, I walked without any issue. Second time, they started surrounding me and threatening. I became aware of the potential danger and left the area quickly. Interesting times.
But remember, diversity is our greatest strength.
I'm saddened to see my Germany, home away from home being destroyed. I love you Germany and God Bless you all.

This is what diversity does to European cities….
in what sense?
You razzist European colonists wrecked many countries and destroyed countless people & lives. Your crimes against humanity have not been forgotten. You have no right to whine about other people.
Careful, multi-kulti cultists will get mad!
In the racist sense.
@@mediolanumhibernicus3353 LOL, is that only when it doesn't affect you? Anyone with any level of common sense knows that diversity might be OK to a certain level but seriously what's the point of having everyone from all over the world try to share the same space and to keep the culture with it? Are you serious? Diversity is good?
shocking to see a German town like that. It has been a long time since I visited Germay but when I was there I was impressed by how clean and orderly everthing was
It depends on which city and district you visit some are very clean, but some cities have problems. Not enough money or high debts.

That's because the only way to fix it would be considered racist.

So what is the cause of the problem?
@@TML0677 You might as well ask a solid wall because no one will give you the obvious answer. Ppl prefer to panic but not to consider the why and what the expectations might be.

Es ist wirklich traurig was aus Krefeld geworden ist, 1994 wollte ich nicht dort weg, aber ich musste mit meinen Eltern umziehen. Heute bin ich froh wenn ich sehe wie es jetzt geworden ist. Es war richtig schön in den 80ern und early 90s in Gatherhof/Krefeld vom Kind zum Jugendlichen zu werden, ich vermisse diese Zeit.
Radicalized, anti-growth, anti-prosperity, anti-freedom 'liberal-progressives' destroy everything that they touch.
Wenn die Leute nicht mit ihrem Herzen, sondern nur mit ihrem Verstand und ihrer Gier irgendwo sind, werden sie die Gegend eben vergammeln lassen. Nur noch ich und die meinen.
1986 habe ich ein halbes Jahr in dieser angenehmen Stadt gewohnt, meine Erinnerungen waren immer gut.
Jetzt ist sie vergammelt und versifft, diese Stadt.
It's so very sad.
Ich war vor ca. 35 Jahren mal in Krefeld und fand es eigentlich hübsch, aber jetzt wirkt es einfach total verwahrlost.
Its a run down place. I used to live in Giessen, Frankfurt/M and Berlin (Charlottenburg). I left in 2000 cause I saw the trouble on the horizon. Unfortunately I was right. I still miss Europe, no doubt. My female friends are afraid to walk the streets late at night. I miss the days when US Armed Forces were in Germany in large numbers. Shame.
Armes Deutschland aber in Amerika gibt es Unruhe und viel zu viel Kriminalitaet.

@@Design770 People are not going to church anymore. As the matter of fact, churches are closing. In my town, one Baptist church and one Roman Catholic church are closed. Ethnic and religious demographics is changing everywhere. A large number of unskilled immigrants from developing and undeveloped countries need a local government assistance. Large population in local communities pushing housing markets up and governments imposed high taxes on businesses. This is one of the factors that commodities and real estate is expensive. Good example is France. I see no bright future. Life is getting harder and harder.
Funny, German politicians in the European Parliament teach Polish and other countries how to live and what to do at home. Thanks for this objective presentation of the real Germany

I lived in Krefeld in the early 1960s, my father was stationed there with the British army. I was a young boy aged 10 years, I recall it being a traditional German town with very friendly population, it was a really friendly place to live and play.
To see the town in such a state of decay is appalling, it saddens me to see it in such a state!

Online shopping has been instrumental in the decline of retail stores all over the world. There are literally thousands of abandoned shopping malls everywhere.
Add to that the state of the global economy, interest rates are going up, prices are going up, rent is going up. The cost of living in general is just crazy.
Then you have this global phenomenon of lawlessness popping up everywhere. Crime is sky high, robbery, theft, violence and the police seemingly unable, or unwilling, to do anything about it. It's anarchy and it's being tolerated, nobody is doing anything about it.
The world has gone mad...
This is sad. Me and both of my brothers were born in different cities in Germany, when Germany still had its identity. It’s sad seeing the different countries in Europe lose their identities due to globalism. 😢

Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, philosopher and savant
Most spiritual sublime city in Germany is Rocken, Germany the birthplace of F.Nietzsche, the philosopher for the eternal day after tomorrow. The rest of Germany is run by Marxist hollow men, empty suits with the stones of department store mannequins. The real Germany is found in the Nietzsche library in Rocken free from the stench of the EU Marxists and Belgium grifters in EU leadership. The wonderful German people should exit the EU and all the wasteland of EU Marxist vapidness.
Germany still has an identity; all of Europe still has their own identity. Its time for mass deportation (not just of immigrants but those trying to use immigrants to erase the past and future of European people).
Thank your WEF leaders.
Thank your American overlords and that clown puppet you call chancellor.
It’s sad to see the city being ruined by those who want nothing in life but to destroy.
These destructive people are on our streets and in our governments and it’s a shame.
The tiny number of thugs and criminals are given more rights than the hard working people who pay taxes. The world is being destroyed by the dregs of society.
It's all happening by design. Look at all the events in the world. Klaus Schwab calls it the great reset. They want total control over people. They already have all the wealth. This has been going on for many generations. Thing can never go back to were they were. Stop consuming main stream media.
