The Bergisches Land is a region in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. It contains beside the tri-city area of Remscheid-Solingen-Wuppertal the district Mettmann, Leverkusen, the Rheinisch-Bergisch district, the Oberbergisch district and parts of the Rhein-Sieg district. It emerged from the Dukedom of Berg. The name of the region is not derived from its mountainous terrain (German: Berg, mountain), but from the dukes of Berg. The dukes of Berg lived first in the Castle Berge in Altenberg, later then in the Castle "Schloss Burg" at the Wupper. Düsseldorf was the capital.
