Au (Sieg) station is a railway junction in the town of Au (Sieg) in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia on the Sieg Railway to Siegen, where the Engers–Au railway branches off to Altenkirchen, where it connects with the Upper Westerwald Railway (German: Oberwesterwaldbahn).
The section of the Sieg Railway between Eitorf and Wissen through Au was opened on 1 August 1860.[2] On 1 May 1887, the branch was opened to Altenkirchen,[3] connecting with the Upper Westerwald Railway to Limburg and additional tracks was added at Au. In 1885 Au consisted of only four houses and 16 inhabitants.[4]
