history
On March 1, 1262, Countess Mechthild , widow of Count Heinrich III. von Sayn , signed a treaty with the Archbishop of Cologne, Konrad von Hochstaden . This document also lists some servants by name who the Countess reserved for her own life for her own service. This included three people from Neitersen, namely Henriche, Gobelin and Gylise from “ Nithirshusen ”. The original is in the Koblenz State Main Archive .
During this time up to the Reformation , today's place Neitersen was due to the Wied a border place that belonged to two different districts. The parish of Schöneberg with its villages, including Neiterschen and Kahlhardt, was part of the Engersgau , which was administered from Engers near Koblenz . The parish of Birnbach , to which Neitersen, Fladersbach and Niederölfen belonged, was in the Auelgau , which was administered from Siegburg .
In Auelgau and thus also on the parish Birnbach (Neitersen right of Wied) were Counts of Sayn the rulers become. It was not until July 5, 1489 that the parish of Schöneberg (Neitersen left der Wied) finally came to the Sayn family. From then on, all of the villages belonging to today's municipality of Neitersen were under one rule.
In the middle of the 18th century, the ownership rights to the local forests fell from the then owner, the Count of Sayn-Hachenburg , to the local forest interest groups .
In 1815, as a result of the resolutions at the Congress of Vienna, the area of Neitersen came to the Kingdom of Prussia and thus an administrative change occurred. The 1,000-year-old parish administration was abolished and mayorships were established. Neiterschen and Kahlhardt came with the parish Schöneberg to the mayor's office Flammersfeld , Neitersen, Niederölfen and Fladersbach came with the parish Birnbach to the mayor's office Weyerbusch .
In 1848, at the request of the Mayor of Weyerbusch, Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen , a schoolhouse was completed in Fladersbach , which meant that schooling for the villages of Neitersen, Niederölfen and Fladersbach no longer took place in Birnbach. In 1873 Neiterschen also got better school conditions, it formed a school community with Schöneberg and school lessons were relocated from the sexton building to the new schoolhouse in Schöneberg.
In 1882 the construction of the Siershahn – Altenkirchen railway began. It was opened on May 30, 1884 and Neitersen was given a train station and at the same time a post office with telephone service.
In 1893 the villages of Neitersen, Niederölfen and Fladersbach were repared from the Birnbach church to the Schöneberg parish, and all of today's districts belonged to the same parish for the first time.
Until 1908, iron ore was mined in the Emma mine. In that year the mine railway to Neitersen station was also discontinued.
In 1911 the Neiterschen community joined the Neitersen-Ölfen school association.
In 1918 the power supply began in Neitersen in the mill in Neiterschen with the help of a generator that was driven by a belt. The entire district of Neiterschen and a few houses along the street on the right-hand side of the Wied were supplied via a two-phase line. Billing with the mill was based on the number and wattage of light bulbs per house. The performance was insufficient for the surrounding areas. From 1920 onwards, the town was supplied with electricity using overhead lines and the mill supplied electricity to the public grid.
The neurologist, painter and writer Wladimir Lindenberg lived in Niederölfen from 1933 until his arrest in 1937 in a half-timbered house at a quarry, which he painted with murals. He set a literary monument to the “divine peace” of the region and its inhabitants, who “welcomed it openly and warmly” in his memory book “Heaven in Hell”.
The village school in Neitersen had consisted of two classrooms since the 1930s and was originally operated as a primary school up to grade 8, but in its final years as a primary school only up to grade 4. It was closed in 1973 and the school was relocated to Altenkirchen .
On January 1, 1969, the previously independent municipality of Niederölfen was incorporated into Neitersen. Today's community was created on June 7, 1969 through a new formation from the communities Neitersen (662 inhabitants) and Neiterschen (151). In 1984, after exactly one hundred years, passenger traffic on the railway line was stopped.
The municipality of Neitersen and the neighboring municipality of Obernau will merge into the new municipality of Neitersen on January 1, 2021.
