"... The Dickelsbach is a body of water on the right Lower Rhine. It rises in the Ratingen-Höseler Fernholz green park in the silicate foothills of the Bergisches Land.
The 21.88 km long river takes its course via Lintorf, Duisburg-Süd and flows into the Rhine at Duisburg-Hochfeld.
On its way from the source to the mouth, its structure changes very frequently. It runs both through indigenous forest areas in an almost natural river bed and as a deeply straightened and not very dynamic water body on the edge of settlement.
A natural redesign was carried out in a section near Duisburg. However, there has been increasing siltation.
The Dickelsbach owes its name to the small summer dike (Dickel: small dike) that accompanies its lower course. This dike protected the area in front of Duisburg's old town from flooding. Until the great Rhine breakthrough at Essenberg and the subsequent slow silting of the Rhine bed in front of Duisburg's old town, the river flowed into the Rhine west of the city. Then the Dickelsbach used the old arm of the Rhine as a drainage bed and flowed into the Ruhr. Today it flows back into the Rhine, albeit with pipes. ... "
