August Heinrich Sieberg

August Heinrich Sieberg (born 23 December 1875 in Aachen; died 18 November 1945 in Jena) was a German geophysicist.

Since 1895 he was assistant at the Meteorological Observatory Aachen, between 1904 and 1914 at the Imperial Main Station for Earthquake Research (today Ecole et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre) in Strasbourg, founded in 1899.

After the First World War Strasbourg became French and Sieberg moved in 1919 together with the director of the Strasbourg main station, Oskar Hecker [de], to the newly established Reichszentrale für Erdbebenforschung in Jena, the predecessor of today's Geodynamics Observatory Moxa.
