Cultural highlights in the neighbourhood

Siegen-Wittgenstein district

Wittgenstein has many cultural highlights to offer. Make the most of your holiday at our hotel in the Auerbachtal and get to know some of them. Our tips:
 

✓ Elisabeth Church and Landgrave Castle in the old university town Marburg

✓ Wilhelmsturm tower and casemates in Dillenburg town of the Orange family

✓ The Siegerland Museum in the Upper Castle with works by Peter Paul Rubens, probably the town's greatest son, and the renowned Museum of Contemporary Art in Siegen

South Westphalia Philharmonic Orchestra with roots in the work of the Busch brothers, a world-famous family of musicians

✓ International music festival week at Berleburg Castle- www.blb-kultur.de

Scenic costume tours in Berleburg Castle and in the upper town as Count Casimir. Gabriele Rahrbach offers high-class, cheeky and historically correct entertainment for groups of 10/15 people or more, but also for individuals.

Radio Museum and Mushroom Museum Bad Laasphe

✓ The internationally renowned light artist Otto Piene, a son of the town of Bad Laasphe

Apollo Theatre in Siegen and Kultur-Pur on the Giller near Hilchenbach
