Hilchenbach, town in the Siegen-Wittgenstein Kreis (district) of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Hilchenbach is a small town in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is made up of several distinct neighborhoods spread across wooded hills in the southern part of the region.
The town grew from a group of small villages that were gradually brought together over the centuries. The area's long tradition of iron and metalworking shaped the character of the communities that make it up today.
The town center is compact and easy to walk through, with the main points of interest close together. The forested hills around the town are easy to reach from most neighborhoods and are good for walks.
Hilchenbach is the birthplace of Johann Heinrich Jung, known as Jung-Stilling, an 18th-century writer and friend of Goethe. His childhood home in one of the outlying neighborhoods can still be visited today.
