From Tuesday 13 September, you are cordially invited to take a seat in K+, designed by the internationally renowned Robert Stadler. During the museum's opening hours, anyone who likes can spend time here, browse through exhibition catalogues, meet up with friends, use the city's wifi or simply relax. Unfortunately, the K+ is currently not open for gastronomy. However, you can bring your own snacks and non-alcoholic drinks and enjoy them here. We will soon inform you about further events and new developments at the K+ here on the website and in the newsletter.

K+ Café at KWM is a place for culture and exchange in Krefeld. The museum café was designed as a total work of art, combining a high quality of stay with contemporary design and fascinating references to the textile history of the city and its art museums. The café fulfills numerous functions as an event location and meeting place formembers of the public with a video lounge, bar area, reading corners, sun terrace and more. A large number of businesses and sponsors from Krefeld were actively involved in the realization of the café.

K + Café im KWM, or simply “K +

Over 400 suggestions were received after our call. We would like to thank all senders for their creative ideas!

The jury finally combined two suggestions for a unique name: The letter “K” together with “Café Plus” resulted in the formula: K +. The plus, graphically simply as a sign “+”, emphasizes the open concept as a characteristic of the place that goes beyond a simple café: it is an exhibition in itself, the great flexibility of the room design and the variety of future users.

It is named after suggestions by three women living Krefeld: Barbara Beier, Susanne Till and Sylvia Weißenborn. Barbara Beier created the name “Café Plus”. Susanne Till suggested "K3: Kunst-Kaffee-Krefeld". Sylvia Weißenborn found the title “K im KWM”; for them the "K" stands for the words "Krefeld, art, culture, conference, creativity and Kaffee / café".

The director of the Kunstmuseen Krefeld Katia Baudin and the designer Robert Stadler present the design for the new museum café.
