The place is first mentioned in a document in 1270 , when Archbishop Anno II of Cologne confirmed an amount from the Siegburg Abbey in Nistera . The starting point of the village is the "Felsenstübchen" above the Abbey Marienstatt, where the "Nister Castle" ( Nistria, Nistera ) stood in the Middle Ages .

The place Nister belonged to the parish of Altstadt and sovereign to the county of Sayn . After the introduction of the Reformation in the county of Sayn, the inhabitants were first Lutheran and later reformed. After the state division of the County of Sayn in the 17th century, Nister belonged to the County of Sayn-Hachenburg .

In 1799 the county came to the princes of Nassau-Weilburg by inheritance . In connection with the formation of the Rhine Confederation , the region and with it the municipality of Nister came to the newly established Duchy of Nassau in 1806 . Under the Nassau administration, the community was assigned to the Hachenburg office.

After the annexation of the Duchy of Nassau, it came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 and from 1868 belonged to the province of Hessen-Nassau and the Oberwesterwaldkreis . The municipality of Nister has been part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1946 .

Nisterhammer industrial plant

At the exit of the village on Hammer-Strasse is the Nisterhammer industrial plant . In 1570 the Counts of Sayn were granted the privilege to build a hammer mill in Nister, which was leased for a long time and in 1707 again in stately ownership. In 1769 the burgrave Georg Friedrich Freudenberg became the owner; In 1802, the British-Nassau Ironworks Company in Hachenburg became the owner and modernized the company. In 1892, the Bocks & Co. brush factory was established there . After 1942, the Nisterhammer industrial plant was again an iron company, from 1956 as Nisterhammer Maschinenbau GmbH . The Nisterhammer was once the first large company in the Oberwesterwald.

Old Höhweg

In the direction of Norken in the districts of Nister and Nauroth there is an approx. 2½ km long straight forest aisle on the saddle of the Nauberg area, which bears the name "old Höhweg", which used to be a section of the Cologne-Leipzig trade route in the area of ​​the district Nister came from the ford through the Große Nister at the Marienstatt Abbey along the Nauberg area in the direction of Kirburg . This driveway is even older than the one from Altenkirchen via the old town , Hachenburg and the ford through the Große Nister at the former cutting mill leading to Cologne-Leipziger-Straße. On the aisle at the former border between the counties of Sayn-Altenkirchen and Sayn-Hachenburg or at the current border between the Westerwaldkreis and the Altenkirchen district, there are several boundary stones with the sign SH / SA , which were set after 1671 as the two Dominions were finally separated.

Old and New Bremsberg

On the south side of the Naubergskuppe Weiße Ley there was a mining area from 1900 on by the Grothe & Groehl company, which extracted quartzite stones from two tunnels under the basalt summit of the Weißen Ley . These stones were transported down into the valley on a “Bremsberg”. The mountain station was located directly in front of the tunnel, down next to the former water tank was the valley station, from where the stones were transported to the Korb train station by horse and cart. The old Bremsberg was later replaced by a newer and longer one, which was built about 100 m east of it. In 1920 the new Bremsberg was removed. The lower route has now been built over with residential buildings, and the community's sports field was built on the loading area.
