history
The place name goes back to the river Sieber, which was first recorded in 1287 as "Sevena". It is based on the Indo-European root * seu - / * sou - (rain, rinnen), which is a common base morpheme for hydronyms in Europe. The settlement can be documented for the first time in 1594 as “in der Seuer”, presumably initially only referring to an ironworks (1670: “the ironworks that Sieber took”).
Mining was at home in Sieber. Wood grinding shops were added later, producing preliminary products for the Herzberger and Rhumspringer paper mills. The buildings of the wood grinding shops are still there, but in a very poor condition. In addition, forestry was an important employer for several centuries.
In 1900, when Sieber was already known as a “climatic spa”, there were 742 spa guests and 575 residents.
From the 1960s to the 1980s, the Harz waterworks pursued plans to build the Sieber dam in the area of the village of Sieber on the river Sieber or above and below the village. The project was abandoned due to clear resistance from residents, particularly from localities in the southern Harz region.
Sieber belonged to the Zellerfeld district . On July 1, 1972, this was dissolved. Sieber was taken over in the district of Osterode am Harz and incorporated into the city of Herzberg am Harz.

Culture and sights
church
In 1887 the Protestant church of St. Benedictus was built in the Nordic style with a 35 m high tower in the center of Sieber. The wooden structure was clad with slate. The church organ is an instrument built in 2008 by Krawinkel in an Engelhardt brochure. The four painted panels depict the theme of sacrifice (from left to right): Isaac, the son of Abraham, with a bundle of wood; Aaron the high priest with a green staff; Melchizedek king of Salem with bread and wine; Abraham, the patriarch of the people of Israel with a ram. The parish belongs to the Harzer Land parish .
In the cemetery there is a war cemetery for German soldiers who died in April 1945.
