The Giersberg is a 354.4 m high mountain in the urban area of Siegens in North Rhine-Westphalia . The mountain is located about 1.5 km northeast of the city center on the Siegberg .
The Giersberg was mentioned in a document on June 24, 1343.
In contrast to the neighboring Siegberg, the Giersberg remained uninhabited for a long time. It was not until the late 19th and early 20th centuries that residential buildings began to be gradually developed. Photographs from the late 1920s show the western slope of the Giersberg still largely undeveloped. The oldest buildings on or on the Giersberg of local or regional importance include the St. Marien Hospital built in the mid-19th century , the Villa Waldrich built in 1879 and the Catholic St. Michael's Church , consecrated at the beginning of the 20th century .
Starting from the north-eastern shoulder of the Siegberg, the Giersbergstrasse also leads in a north-easterly direction over the summit of the Giersberg to the Siegen-Weidenau district, which begins on the northern slope . On the summit of the mountain, which is now almost completely built up with residential buildings, there is a primary school, a comprehensive school and a Waldorf school, a sports field and an allotment garden. Also on the mountain top is the Siegen-Giersberg transmitter , which broadcasts the public television programs via DVB-T2 in addition to radio stations from WDR and Radio Siegen . In contrast to other mountains in the Siegerland region, there were no larger mining tunnels on and in the Giersberg ; the Junge Busch mine is called 1855. Today "Giersberg" is a regional name for the district and is used like the name of a district.
The yaw mountain is of the two tubes of the named after him railway tunnel yaw mountain tunnel crosses under. The crossing tunnels of the Dill line have a length of 732 m (single-track route towards Siegen Hauptbahnhof ) or 699 m (double-track route towards Siegen-Weidenau station).
A section of the European long-distance hiking trail E1 leads over the Giersberg from the street Stockweg in the northeast, in parts over the Giersbergstraße, to the Hohler Weg in the southwest .
