    The battle AND the painting are still famous here in Düsseldorf. The painting can be admired in the town hall.
    Some believe that the peasants decided the battle. But as well you can read, that the peasants slew allies and enemies alike, because they couldnt distinguish the coats of arms of the knights.
    Reder from Düsseldorf
