The Siegkreis (until 1825 Kreis Siegburg) was a district in the Cologne region of the Prussian Rhine Province, established in 1816. It essentially comprised the right-bank part of today's Rhein-Sieg-Kreis. As of early 1969, the Siegkreis bordered, clockwise beginning in the north, the Rheinisch-Bergischer and Oberbergischer Kreis (both in North Rhine-Westphalia), the districts of Altenkirchen (Westerwald) and Neuwied (both in Rhineland-Palatinate), as well as the Landkreis Bonn, the independent city of Bonn and the Landkreis Köln (all again in North Rhine-Westphalia).
