I realize that I did not give much context in my question.
However, I was hoping for more of a break down of the
individual words themselves. Stieg = to climb, to raise
and horst = eagles nest, rookery. Thanks anyway. Maybe
the village in Germany is know for it's eagle nests?

I believe "horst" means to raise. It could be the sun or so
