About Siegen

A city in the south Westphalian part of North Rhine-Westphalia, in the basin of the upper reaches of the river Sieg. The city is ruled over by two castles. The “Upper Castle” is a fortified hilltop castle, which has been home to a regional museum for art and cultural history since 1905. A particular focus is placed on the life and works of the Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens who was born in Siegen in 1577. Siegen is famous for its historic half-timbered houses and its winding alleyways.
