زيگن (Siegen ؛ النطق الألماني: [ˈziːɡn̩]  ( listen)) هي مدينة في ألمانيا في الجزء الوستفالي الجنوبي من شمال الراين - وستفاليا.

تقع مدينة زيگن في حوض أعالي نهر زيگ. From there, lateral valleys branch off in many directions. The heights of the surrounding mountains, wherever they are not actually settled, are covered in coppice. To the north lies the Sauerland, to the northwest the Rothaargebirge and to the southwest the Westerwald.

 جائزة روبنز من مدينة زيگن

The Rubens Prize of the City of Siegen, founded in 1955, is awarded every five years to a painter or graphic artist whose life's work has been groundbreaking on the European stage. The title recalls the painter-diplomat Peter Paul Rubens, who expressed in his life's work the thought of European unity, long before it could become a political reality. Peter Paul Rubens – who was born in Siegen, grew up in Cologne and Antwerp, trained in art in Italy, was esteemed in France and acted as a diplomat in Spain and England – as the main master of European Baroque painting set those artistic and European standards to which the awarding of the prize has been bound since 1957–1958.

Past prizewinners:

• Hans Hartung (1957/1958)
• Giorgio Morandi (1962)
• Francis Bacon (1967)
• Antoni Tàpies (1972)
• Fritz Winter (1977)
• Emil Schumacher (1982)
• Cy Twombly (1987)
• Rupprecht Geiger (1992)
• Lucian Freud (1997)
• Maria Lassnig (2002)
