The famous "Battle of Worringen" took place in Worringen, the northernmost district of Cologne. After that, Cologne was officially declared a free imperial city in 1288. But other areas within the district are also steeped in history. The so-called "Worringer Bruch", a 164-hectare horseshoe-shaped moorland area, is over 8,000 years old. Formerly a wet meander of the Rhine, the area is now almost completely silted up. Nevertheless, it is regularly soaked, because the lowest point in Cologne is located here and the water level rises and falls with the level of the Rhine. Numerous animal and plant species find a home in this nature reserve, which has been official since 1991.

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!
