Our Cluster Assembly 2026 will be held in Siegen from Monday, 13th July, to Wednesday, 15th July. On Monday, we will start at 10:00 with coffee and registration. Monday evening is free and can be used for self-organised sub-group meetings. Tuesday evening, we plan to have a common dinner at the upper castle. On Wednesday, we plan to finish around 16:00.

In case you never visited Siegen before, some hopefully inspiring pictures below. Siegen currently has slightly over 100.000 inhabitants and a long history dating back to Celtic times, when iron was already produced. In 1972, the university was founded, which has around 15.000 students. Downtown Siegen offers many pubs, restaurants, and cafes, as well as theaters, cinemas, and concert halls, which you hopefully will be able to attend.

The meeting venue is the former high school for girls, Lÿz, which is now used as a centre for culture.
