The "Battle of Worringen" didn't take place in Worringen, but here on the southern edge of the dead arm of the Rhine. One path is still called Am Blutberg, the district of Blutberg was only renamed Blumenberg when it was built. Here the citizens of Cologne, together with farmers from Bergisch and people from Düsseldorf, triumphed over the archbishop.

Thank you, Düsseldorf!
