Krefeld is a city in N. Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. In 1795 it came under French rule and the consistorial system was introduced with Chief Rabbi Judah Loeb Karlsburg appointed its head. Karlburg authored numerous works: Igereth Milchemeth Chovah (Amsterdam, 1833) against those seeking to abolish the second day of the festival in the Diaspora; Divrei Evel (Offenbach, 1793), a eulogy for R. Ezekiel Landau; and Shalosh Yevavoth (Mayence, 1886), three eulogies for R. Judah Leib Scheier (with a halachic appendix concerning the law of the Nazirite). See EJ, Vol. X, col. 1251
