The Nister , also known as the Great Nister , is a nearly 64 km long, orographically left and southern tributary of the Sieg in Rhineland-Palatinate , Germany .
geography
source
The Nister rises in the High Westerwald at the west foot of the Fuchskaute , which is 657 m above sea level. NHN highest mountain in the Westerwald . Its source is located in the small village of Willingen at an altitude of 563 m above sea level. NHN , about 1.7 kilometers northwest of the summit of the Fuchskaute, 800 meters east of Bretthausen and one kilometer southwest of Löhnfeld, just northeast of Willingen's main street (the Mittelstrasse) in a small meadow that is surrounded on all sides by streets or paths .
course
From the source the Nister first flows a few kilometers in a southerly direction, then it turns in a predominantly northwestern direction through the Westerwald. Directly below its source, it already absorbs some inflows from irrigation channels from the surrounding meadows. After passing through smaller towns such as Nister-Möhrendorf and Emmerichenhain (where it takes in the Breitenbach, which also feeds the Breitenbach dam), it makes an arc to the northwest before passing Neustadt . In Neustadt it takes up the Finkelbach on the right side, and a little below Neustadt on the right side the Roßbach.
Then it passes Fehl-Ritzhausen south, and flows a little northeast of the Schönberger Weiher. After a few kilometers of flow and crossing the village of Hahn, it picks up the black nest on the right in Bad Marienberg- Langenbach , which rises at the head of the bridge . From there it continues to flow in a south-westerly direction until it takes up the old Dreisbach on the left at Hahn-Hardter Mühle. A little further on, in the village of Nistertal , it takes the Enspelner Bach on the left. From there it flows briefly in a northerly direction, then again in a north-westerly direction, and takes in the Bölsbach and the Waschebach on the right-hand side at Unnau -Korb.
After it has flowed a little further through an open meadow valley, and has flowed just south of the forester's house Nister, it passes the town of Hachenburg , and the village of Nister to the north or south. It crosses under the Nistertalstrasse twice. After leaving Hachenburg behind, it flows into a romantic valley and passes Marienstatt , which is located in the Kroppacher Switzerland recreational area . There she passes under the famous stone Nister Bridge. A few hundred meters below it is dammed up by a weir in order to keep the groundwater level in Marienstatt constant.
After the weir, it also makes a large loop around the castle hill, on which the Vroneck cultural monument (the remains of Vroneck castle ) stands. Then it winds its way through the valley in many loops - partly forest, partly meadow valley, and repeatedly picks up small rivulets. It flows through the Kroppacher Schweiz recreation area in a north-westerly direction and passes Astert to the north. Then it passes Heuzert (also north) until it finally arrives at Heimborn , where it picks up the 24-kilometer-long Kleine Nister on the right-hand side of the so-called "German corner of the Westerwald" .
From there it flows further north-west and passes z. B. Places like Stein-Wingert and Idelberg . Now it flows a few kilometers on the border between the urban area of Hamm and Wissen and passes the village of Helmeroth , where it picks up the Burbach tire on the right. For a while it now always flows parallel to Nistertalstrasse (partly on the right, partly on the left of the street).

Finally, after a stretch of about 64 kilometers, the Nister flows under the B 62 between Etzbach and Wissen -Nisterbrück on the left, at an altitude of 141 m above sea level. NHN in the 155.2 kilometer long river Sieg .
Catchment area and tributaries
The catchment area of the Nister is 245,968 km². The highest mountain in the catchment area is the Fuchskaute at 657 m above sea level. NHN . Its three largest tributaries are, viewed downstream from the stream:

Catchment area [km²] |
source | muzzle | DGKZ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black nests | right | 12.4 | 24.7 | Bridge head | Bad Marienberg - Langenbach | 2724-4 |
| Enspelnerbach (Hornnister) | Left | 8.5 | 20.2 | Kramerberg | Alpenrod - Hirtscheid | 2724-6 |
| Small nests | right | 24.6 | 63.5 | Bridge head | Heimborn | 2724-8 |
It is interesting that these tributaries of the Nister also bear the name Nister.
In addition, it still takes the Breitenbach , the Finkel Bach , the Rossbach , the old Dreisbach , the Bölsbach , the Wäschenbach , the Burbachseifen and some other small tributaries.
Erbacher Bridge
The “Erbacher Brücke”, a disused railway bridge, is located near the village of Nistertal . It is named after the then independent municipality of Erbach, which is now part of Nistertal. This structure is important because at the time of its opening on August 31, 1911, with a length of around 300 m and a height of almost 40 m, it was the largest concrete bridge without steel reinforcement in Germany and was considered a miracle of technology.
Floodplain sediments
The Auelehme the Nister have for the most part only since the Middle Ages formed. Before that, the floodplain of the nest was almost entirely covered with gravel and large boulders.
