history

According to Konrad Lübeck , the place was probably created in the 10th century. Theodor Haas suspected that the name did not indicate a nearby pond, but was derived from a man named "Wigheri". The place was first mentioned in 1347 when it was sold within the noble family of those von Eberstein . In 1451 it belonged to the Bieberstein castle estate, which was owned by the von Eberstein family at the time. In 1458 Prince Abbot Reinhard von Weilnau gave the "Mill at Wyers and everything you have there" as a fief to Hermann and Philipp zu Eberstein. Philipp and Rangold von Eberstein leased their property there “with everything that goes with it” in 1487 for annual interest. The small town closely connected with the history of those von Eberstein was Fuldaer Lehen. In 1543 it belonged to the Bieberstein office and had six residents.

It was mentioned at the end of the 16th century as Weiers unter Bieberstein . In 1592 it was named Schaffweyers and shortly afterwards Wüstenwyers . At the time it had become desolate and was used as a sheep pasture.

When the place was repopulated is unknown. The place called Weihershof is mentioned again for the first time in 1790. The estate at that time was later a state domain and in 1843 had eleven inhabitants. Originally the homestead belonged to the Wittges community and was incorporated into Hofbieber with this. The former estate is still inhabited today.
