Dusseldorf is a historical city in Germany. Located on the banks of the mighty Rhine; Dusseldorf sits on the delta of Düssel River. Built on layers of alluvium, mud, sands, clays and gravels; this city was once a little marshy village. The historians believe that the Germanic times that lived there were successful in repelling the attacks of the mighty roman emperors. Subsequently in the 12th century Dusseldorf came under the rule of the Berg kings. However there was a long standing dispute between the Archbishop of Cologne and the Berg rulers. The battle of Worringen settled the dispute and the Berg rulers won in the battle. Dusseldorf became the capital of these Berg rulers in the year 1280.
