Fischbacherberg, Mountain summit in Siegen, Germany.
Description
Fischbacherberg is a mountain summit about 2.5 kilometers west of Siegen's center and part of the Rheinisches Schiefergebirge range in North Rhine-Westphalia. It rises to 371 meters and is home to several educational institutions on its slopes.
History
The mountain was home to mining operations for centuries, with several active pits including Ausdauer, Hohe Aussicht, and Friedericke. Mining came to an end here in 1858 when the Friedericke pit closed, shifting the area's economic focus afterward.
Culture
The southern slope is home to Siegen University's Emmy-Noether-Campus, while technical and business colleges sit on the eastern side. This layout shows how the mountain functions today as a center for learning and professional education.
Practical
The mountain features multiple biking trails, including the Flowtrail Siegen, accessible near the bus terminal and parking areas at the base. Visitors can reach it on foot or by bike, and sturdy footwear is helpful due to the terrain.
Did you know?
The Hüttentalstraße road passes through the mountain via the Ziegenberg tunnel, connecting different parts of the city underground. This engineering solution shows how the terrain was adapted for urban mobility.
