history

When the place was founded is unclear. The settlement of the residents, however, is likely to be related to the construction of Niesten Castle around 1100. The Niestener Mühle was built in the 16th century. Niesten Castle lost its importance when the last Vogts moved to Weismain in 1710, after which the castle stood empty and fell into disrepair. The Catholic Chapel of St. Josef was built in the early 20th century as a neo-Gothic, single-storey building with a gable roof and turret.

Niesten was incorporated into Weismain on January 1, 1978 as a district of the Neudorf community together with Görau , Herbstmühle , Krassach and Seubersdorf .

etymology

The place was first mentioned in 1142 as "Niste". For 1151 the spelling “Niston” and for 1152 the current spelling “Niesten” is handed down for the first time. Furthermore, there was 1157 the spelling "Nieste", 1180 "Nisten", 1248 "Niesthen" and 1249 again "Niesten". In the local variety of the Upper Franconian dialect , the place name is pronounced as [ nįsn ] (pronounced: niisn ). In the dialect there is a loss of -t between -s and -n after syncope of -e .

After Germanists Ernst Schwarz 's name from might Old Czech niestěgě later nístěj or the Upper Sorbian NESC originate what each open fireplace means. This theory is supported by the linguist Ernst Eichler , who sees the place name with high probability as a development from the Slavic něstěja , with the same meaning as with Schwarz. He considers the development from the word gnězdo (nest, or place in nest position) to be excluded, since otherwise the place name would have appeared as Gniest or something similar. The ending in -n reflects the German locality dative .
