Neunkirchen has been shaped by the great influence of various Free-Church-Evangelical (''freikirchlich-evangelisch'') religious communities. This even, and especially, applies to the economic field, making its mark on the kind of approaches to management seen in the community. This practice works anachronistically, and for uninitiated [[atheist]]s – and even for Christians of both greater denominations in Germany – it can be quite incomprehensible. Those from outside seeking jobs are well advised to make inquiries as to the leadership style to be expected here, as well as to be sure of getting the most generous possible probationary period. |

Neunkirchen (German: [ˈnɔʏnˌkɪʁçn̩] ⓘ); English: "Nine Churches") is a municipality in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
History
[edit]Neunkirchen had its first documentary mention on 23 August 1288.
Religion
[edit]Neunkirchen has been shaped by the great influence of various Free-Church-Evangelical (freikirchlich-evangelisch) religious communities. This even, and especially, applies to the economic field, making its mark on the kind of approaches to management seen in the community. This practice works anachronistically, and for uninitiated atheists – and even for Christians of both greater denominations in Germany – it can be quite incomprehensible. Those from outside seeking jobs are well advised to make inquiries as to the leadership style to be expected here, as well as to be sure of getting the most generous possible probationary period.

Coat of arms
[edit]Neunkirchen's civic coat of arms might be described thus: Or three lozenges in bend sable.
The greater community's current arms are the same as those formerly borne by Altenseelbach before amalgamation. They were adopted as Neunkirchen's arms in 1969. The charge of the three lozenges comes from the arms borne by the Lords of Seelbach in the Middle Ages. A similar charge – in the same colours – can be seen in nearby Burbach's arms.[1]
