Sankt Augustin (Ripuarian: Sank Aujustin) is a town in the Rhein-Sieg district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is named after the patron saint of the Steyler missionaries, Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430). The missionaries established the "Saint Augustine Monastery" near the current town centre in 1913. The municipality of Sankt Augustin was established in 1969, and on September 6, 1977, Sankt Augustin acquired town privileges (German: Stadtrechte).[3] Sankt Augustin is situated about 8 km northeast of Bonn and 8 km southwest of Siegburg. Sankt Augustin belongs to the economic region of Bonn/Rhein-Sieg as well as the scientific region of Bonn. With over 59,000 inhabitants, it is the second-largest town in the Rhein-Sieg district.[3]
