From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Düssel is a small right tributary of the River Rhine in North Rhine Westphalia. Its source is between Wülfrath and Velbert. It flows westward through the Neander Valley where the fossils of the famous first Neanderthal man were found in 1856. At Düsseldorf it joins the Rhine. The name Düsseldorf comes from the name of the Düssel. (Düssel is the stream, and Dorf means "village" because the city of Düsseldorf was a village until the 13th century.)
