geography

history

Both villages belonging to the municipality belong to the so-called clearing areas . Woldert was called Nyderwoltroyde in 1324 , so there must have been a "Niederwoldert" and an "Oberwoldert" at that time. In 1478 Woldert was called Wolterote , later Wolderoth . Hilgert was called "Hilgerrode" in 1376.

Because they belonged to the County of Wied , the Walpoden von Reichenstein owned land in Woldert (1478). In 1582 Woldert had eight and Hilgert four houses.

Woldert belonged to the County of Wied-Runkel until 1806, in 1815 the community came to the newly formed Prussian province of Lower Rhine (from 1822 Rhine province ). From 1816 Woldert belonged to the mayor's office in Niederwambach in the Neuwied district . In 1927 this was renamed to Amt Niederwambach and in 1937 merged with Amt Puderbach. Since then, Woldert has been part of Puderbach administratively .

The mill in Hilgert already existed in the 17th century and was a Countess-Wiedische ban mill . The villages Hilgert, Woldert, Weroth and Dendert belonged to the mill ban. According to a lease document from 1690, the leaseholder had to pay 110 Reichstaler lease annually. The mill ban was lifted in 1845 and Prince zu Wied sold the mill for 1,505 thalers.

Today's community was created on March 16, 1974 through the merger of the previously independent communities Woldert (435 inhabitants) and Hilgert (68).
