Sankt Augustin

Sankt Augustin is a medium-sized town in the Rhein-Sieg District with several interconnected localities including Birlinghoven, Buisdorf, Hangelar, Meindorf, and Menden. Residential neighborhoods alternate with commercial areas and green zones, while the monastery stands out as a clear landmark.

Steyler missionaries founded the Sankt Augustin monastery in 1913, which gave the later settlement its name. The localities merged into a continuous community after World War II and gained town status in 1969.

The settlement takes its name from the Augustinian-Steyler Monastery, which continues to shape the local character. Residents gather in the individual localities for daily shopping and use the green spaces along the streets for walks.

Roads connect the town northward to Bonn and eastward to Siegburg, making arrival from either direction straightforward. The localities sit close together, allowing visitors to explore them on foot or by bicycle.

Several federal agencies maintain administrative offices in the town, including police and military directorates. These facilities sit scattered across the urban area and remain barely visible in everyday life.
