misclassification of Jülich as "fortress" and subsequent destruction completely omitted[edit]

Jülich was destroyed because it was misclassified as "fortress" (which it was--in the 16th century)on French and American maps, this article pretendes it was attacked and completely destroyed for being an important crossroad instead. Ironically, practically the only thing that was left intact were the fortifications (from the 16th century). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:D2:972F:627:D197:D1FB:8985:2019 (talk) 15:45, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Important Error[edit]

Throughout the article the river name is spelled "Ruhr", but that is the river in the Ruhrgebiet, EAST of the Rhine.

The river in this article should be spelled "Rur", I will exchange every instance of it right away.
