Individual Sights in SiegburgSight 1: Stadtmuseum Siegburg
The Siegburg City Museum is an archaeological, art and cultural history museum on the history of Siegburg. It was opened in May 1990 in the former Latin school on the market, the birthplace of the composer Engelbert Humperdinck. On four exhibition levels, the museum documents the city's history from early times to the present day. In addition to archaeology, fossils and Siegburg's Renaissance ceramics, exhibitions by contemporary artists are shown. Together with two event rooms for 199 visitors each, the Siegburg City Museum is a cultural centre in the Rhine-Sieg district on the right bank of the Rhine. Since 2014, it has been connected to the Siegburg City Library by a passageway to form an open cultural centre.
Sight 2: Sankt Servatius
The Catholic parish church of St. Servatius is a listed church building in Siegburg. The choir building is an early example of a reception of the High Gothic architecture of Cologne Cathedral and was in turn adopted in successor buildings such as the collegiate church of Vilich and the Mönchengladbach Cathedral, which was around the same time. The church is richly furnished and contains important medieval works of art in the treasury. It belongs to the parish of St. Servatius Siegburg in the Archdiocese of Cologne.
Sight 3: Siegessäule
The Victory Column in Siegburg is the war memorial for the soldiers from Siegburg and the Siegkreis who died in the German Wars of Unification in 1866 and 1870/71. The winged Victoria, standing on a ball, holds in her hands the symbols of victory (laurel wreath) and peace (palm branch).
