Overview

  • Discover the raw, hidden soul of Siegen. This is not a typical walk through a picturesque German city. We dive deep into a 400-year-old paradox: how a revolutionary, sustainable forest system called Hauberg saved the region from ecological collapse while simultaneously crushing its working class to forge an iron empire. From the dark tunnels of the Schauberg mine under the Upper Castle to the strict half-timbered houses and the roaring riverbanks, you will uncover the brutal, brilliant machinery of early industrial capitalism.
