Stadtgeschichte

In the organizer's words:

The name of the city of Siegen probably goes back to the Celtic term for the river Sieg (sikkere = fast water). In five rooms on the top floor, the following stages of the town's history are currently being examined:

  • Siegen in the Middle Ages: from two town lords to one town lord
  • One town: two denominations - two castles
  • From craftsmanship to industrialization
  • The First World War, National Socialism and destruction
  • The path from reconstruction to university town

A new concept for the town history department is currently being planned. This will also include the results of the special exhibitions "Siegen. The subjective view of the city" (2023) and "Siegen. Stranger? Home?" (2024) will be taken into account.
