    Rüden is best known for the legend of the male dog (here: male dog) who is said to have saved the life of his master, the Duke of Berg, after his fall. A memorial commemorating this event, called the Rüdenstein, is located in a wooded area near Obenrüden.

    The male is said to have saved the life of Count zu Berg, who fell on the slopes of the Wupper, by getting help. The “Rüdenstein” monument was erected on the basis of this legend.

    At the Christmas of the year 1414, Duke Robert crashed at night in the woods during a deer hunt. His horse had fallen dead. His dog showed the retinue the way where the Duke half frozen and bleeding under a rock lay. The Duke had the dog erected a memorial.
