Siegen

Siegen sits on the Sieg River in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, where the wooded hills of the Siegerland shape a compact city of valleys and ridges. The city is closely associated with the Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, who was born here in 1577; the Siegerlandmuseum in the Upper Castle preserves works and material connected with his life. The Upper Castle crowns the old town, while the Lower Castle is another historic focal point and now serves the University of Siegen. Ironworking and mining also helped define the wider Siegerland, a region long linked to ore, forests and industry.
