history

Siefenhoven, once known as Rorichshof , emerged as a heap village and, like the other places at the exit of the Schmelztal, was probably settled from Honnef. The part of the name “Siefen” (= Siepen ) indicates that a water source was the point of attraction for the people who first settled in this place and the surrounding area. Since Siefenhoven with the name ending " -hoven " is the place in Aegidienberg with the place name going back the furthest, it can be assumed to be the oldest settlement in the district.

In 1673, the place called Seifferhoven at the time had six households and 17 people who were subject to tax liability. In 1803 it already comprised 13 houses or house numbers. Siefenhoven is one of the eight honors that made up the parish of Aegidienberg from the middle of the 18th century until the dissolution of the Duchy of Berg in 1806. The farmsteads and houses that were built near the parish church of St. Aegidius also belonged to Siefenhoven . In 1828 the previous honor was recorded as Sieferhoven in a census , as was the case in 1843, when the church village, which was gradually emerging north of Siefenhoven, was counted as Siefenhoven. The Aegidienberg parish tithe , which was raised until 1858, comprised the four tithe districts Orscheid , Retscheid , Kirche (with Siefenhoven) and Hövel . In the census of 1871, the current spelling of the place name had prevailed, the houses of the church village were no longer shown as part of Siefenhoven.

In 1952 Siefenhoven became the location of a retirement home that the Franciscan Sisters of the Aegidienberg Monastery of St. Josef set up in a former residential building. In 1961/1962 a larger replacement building was erected at the same location, so that the old people's home, renamed Heinz-Frings-Haus after a donor , could accommodate 30-50 people in the mid-1960s. Today the facility bears the name Franziskus-Haus and comprises 69 inpatient care places and 30 apartments. On the western edge of Siefenhoven, a stud has been established where gaited horses (including Icelandic horses ) are bred. This stud produced the Aegidienberger , a new breed of horse , in 1981 . A riding school adjoins the stud to the south.

coat of arms

Chalkboard as the town's coat of arms

In 2008/09, the artist Richard Lenzgen created a slate as the Siefenhoven coat of arms . It shows a crossroads ("Siefenhovener Kreuz") at the top left, the summit hut on the Hupperichsberg on the right (in the upper third) and the emblem of the Siefenhovener Stud (in the middle third). The lower end forms - taking over the former Aegidienberg municipal coat of arms - a representation of the Aegidienberg parish church of St. Aegidius and the coat of arms of the office of Löwenburg on green Dreiberg (for the mountains Löwenburg , Großer Ölberg and Lohrberg ).
