Situated in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district, Freudenberg is a small town measuring only 54, 48 square kilometers.
Documents give clues that Freudenberg was established quite early on as a "Flecken", or market town.
The town of Freudenberg in its current form came into being through municipal reform on 1 January 1969. Into it the seventeen formerly self-standing municipalities were merged into one.
Museums
The town museum (Stadtmuseum) has exhibits relating to local history and economic history. Especially worth seeing is the House's clock collection.
The Technical Museum (Technikmuseum) has on display exhibits relating to trade and industrial history from the region.
The museum's centrepiece is a steam engine built in 1904. As well, the museum has a variety of wheeled vehicles on display. All these half-timbered houses add a medieval charm, thus making this city look like a fairytale land.

It is a good place for hiking, there are 160 km of marked trails at your disposal, but that`s not all you can do here.
