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. After that he was only allowed to reside in Bonn and Brühl with mistresses and hunting falcons. From then on, Cologne was able to earn money undisturbed from printing banned books. Thank you, Düsseldorf!
