Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SIEGEN , a town of Germany, in the Prussian province of Westphalia, situated 63 m. E. of Cologne by rail, on the Sieg, a tributary entering the Rhine opposite
Bonn
 . Pop. (19os) 25,201. The town contains two palaces of the former princes of Nassau-Siegen, a technical and a mining school. The surrounding
district
 , to which it gives its name, abounds in iron-mines, and iron
founding
  and smelting are the most important branches of industry in and near the town. Large tanneries and leather works, and factories for cloth,
paper
  and machinery, are among the other industrial establishments.
Siegen was the
capital
  of an early principality belonging to the
house
  of Nassau; and from 16o6 onwards it gave name to the junior branch of Nassau-Siegen.
Napoleon
  incorporated Siegen in the grand-duchy of Berg in 1806; and in 1815 the congress of Vienna assigned it to Prussia, under whose
rule
  it has nearly quintupled its population.
Rubens
  is said to have been born here in 1J77.
