Aegidienberg is a German municipality situated southeast of Köln/Cologne. Since 1967 it is part of the municipality of Bad Honnef on river Rhine.

The name goes back on the Christian saint Aegidius (french: Giles).

The municipalty itself consists of thirteen individual places: Aegidienberg, Brüngsberg, Efferoth, Himberg, Höhe, Hövel, Neichen, Orscheid, Retscheid, Rottbitze, Siefenhoven, Wintersberg and Wülscheid.

6,673 persons lived here in 2002 and the population is decently increasing. It has its own breed of horse - a very stable type of Iceland pony.

In November 1923 the last battle of the Rhine region's separatism was fought around the single villages of the municipality.
