Measures on Haardter Berg
Siegen-Weidenau
Adolf-Reichwein-Straße Campus
The buildings, which date from the 1970s, have been completely renovated both inside and out—thereby creating modern working conditions for students and staff at the University of Siegen. There are also plans to expand the campus northward.
INCYTE Research Building
To strengthen the University of Siegen in the research fields of nanoanalytics, nanochemistry, and cyber-physical sensor technologies, a research building with state-of-the-art laboratories is being constructed at the northern end of the campus on Adolf-Reichwein-Straße.
Measures in the City Center
Siegen City Center
Siegen. Knowledge Connects
As part of the "Siegen. Knowledge Connects,” two additional schools are moving to downtown Siegen. All information and the latest updates on the urban development project and the relocation of Schools I (Faculty of Arts and Humanities) and II (School of Education, Architecture and the Arts) to downtown can be found on the project website.
Unteres Schloss Campus
With its new, modern lecture hall complex, the Unteres Schloss Campus is the heart of the University of Siegen’s downtown campus. The campus also features a modern dining hall with a food court, which has been open to all students, university employees, and members of the public since its opening in 2021.
Downtown Library
The former Hettlage commercial building is set to house the branch library for Schools I and II in downtown Siegen and serve as an important link between the lower and upper parts of the city. To this end, an architectural competition to implement the space allocation plan was launched in the spring of 2023.
New School of Architecture
A playful, airy architectural design with a curved roof and light-filled rooms—visually alone, the New School of Architecture in Siegen is a real eye-catcher. But what is set to emerge from the former printing plant of the Siegener Zeitung goes far beyond that. The New School of Architecture sets new standards for modern architecture, sustainability, and university education—and will thus become a unique selling point for Siegen.
Student Services Center
In downtown Siegen, a former furniture store has been transformed into the University of Siegen’s new Student Services Center. The Student Services Center houses the Student Services Department, the International Office, the Language Center, the Center for Academic Teaching, as well as student workspaces and seminar rooms.
Wilhelm Jung House
The Wilhelm-Jung-Haus is located on Fürst-Johann-Moritz-Straße in downtown Siegen and is directly adjacent to the Johann-Moritz-Quartier, which is currently under construction. Since November 6, 2023, theUniversity Psychotherapy Outpatient Clinic(PHA) has been located here. The University Psychotherapy Outpatient Clinic provides state-of-the-art, guideline-based psychotherapy for adults, children, and adolescents.
Seminar Center in the Johann-Moritz Quarter
In the heart of the university town of Siegen, right next to the main train station and the central bus station (ZOB), the new residential and commercial building “Johann-Moritz-Quartier” is currently under construction. In addition to space for retail stores, a boarding house, and apartments, the building will include space for the University of Siegen.
