The name Siegburg means ‘fort on the Sieg.’ This North Rhine Westphalian town sits on the banks of two rivers – the Sieg and the Agger. The town offers visitors a convenient location to stay that is both out of the major tourist zones and still convenient to several large cities.

The town was founded around a Benedictine Monastery, Michaelsburg Abbey, built upon a hill of the same name in 1064. The settlement was first called a city in 1182. Built two centuries later, the Haus zum Winter dates from 1220 AD, and is located just next to the more recently built St. Servatius Church. Many of the town’s buildings date from the 15th and 16th centuries, when the city reached its most prosperous. Today the city is often visited because of its famous pottery, in particular the Siegburg pitchers called Siegburger Kruge.
