Witnesses have criticised the decision to have just one entrance through a tunnel to the Love Parade and said they warned police about overcrowding.
One Briton, Salil Bhate, described seeing people lying on the ground with "stamp marks on their faces".
Local authorities said a plan had been in place prior to the event.
The mayor of Duisburg Adolf Sauerland, where the festival took place, said a security plan had been worked out beforehand.
Mr Bhate, from Romford, Greater London, had "spontaneously" decided to go to the festival while on holiday in Germany.
"The stampede reminded me of a heavy metal concert, only here, there was nobody to help," he said.
Really ? I have been to literally Hundreds of Concerts and festivals like the US festivals in southern Calif. never have I seen Anything like this .
"The number of people that I saw lying on the floor, but too far away, was ridiculous. They had stamp marks on their faces. It wasn't until I saw people being resuscitated that I understood how serious this was."

JAKARTA (AFP) — At least 21 people were killed in a stampede in Indonesia on Monday as they crowded an alley to receive a cash handout for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, police said.
Another 11 people were injured in the crush as thousands packed the narrow sidestreet in Pasuruan, East Java province, to receive a cash gift of 30,000 rupiah (3.30 dollars) each from a rich family, police and news reports said.
"Too many people came and they were afraid they wouldn't be able to get the money so they pushed each other. That's why the stampede occurred," national police spokesman Abubakar Nataprawira said.
