Siddeburen (Dutch: [ˌsɪdəˈbyːrə(n)]; Gronings: Sibboeren or Siddeboeren) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is located in the municipality of Midden-Groningen, about 10 km southwest of Delfzijl.

Siddeburen was a separate municipality until 1826, when it was merged with Slochteren.[3]

History

The village was first mentioned in 1226 as "de Sigerdachurke", and means "settlement of Syerd (person)".[4] Siddeburen is a road village which developed on a sandy ridge in the late 12th century.[5] The village originally consisted of two parallel linear settlements.[6]

The Dutch Reformed church dates from around 1200. The tower was enlarged several times, but partially rebuilt and lowered in 1832.[5] The church was restored in the mid-20th century.[6]

Siddeburen was home to 1,335 people in 1840.[6]
