Häusling, Mountain summit in Siegen, Germany

Häusling is a 364-metre mountain in Siegen, rising about 1 km south of the city centre on the Siegberg. Its summit is largely unbuilt, while the lower slopes are built up all around. A Bildumsetzer stands on the mountain, and the former Winchenbachschule lies on the upper southern slope.

In the 19th century, the mountain was a center for mining operations that served as training grounds for miners. These activities shaped the landscape and left marks that remain visible today.

The Häusling's slopes hold the Realschule Am Häusling and tennis courts, while the Medien- und Kulturhaus Lÿz stands not far off in the valley below. The mountain's mining past lives on in pit names: Häuslingstiefe, Morgenlust and Schleifmühlchen, the last used from 1818 as a training mine for the Siegen mining school.

The mountain is easy to explore with several walking and cycling paths that offer different difficulty levels. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes and stay on the marked routes.

On the mountain stands a Bildumsetzer, a radio relay for the city's television signal, while the former Winchenbachschule sits on the upper southern slope. The summit itself is largely free of buildings; construction rings the lower slopes instead.
