In the first documentary mention of 1627, a cologne court in Wester is mentioned together with the court in Zurheiden. Since the Middle Ages, Wester belonged to the Electorate of Cologne and to the Altenwied office and was part of the " Honnschaft Limbach". According to an inventory ordered by the Cologne Elector Maximilian Heinrich in 1660, only the “Erzstiftische Hof” was mentioned in Wester, which was inhabited by several generations.
After the Rhineland came to Prussia in 1815 , Wester belonged to the Limbach municipality in the then newly formed Neuwied district and was administered by the Asbach mayor . According to a census from 1885, Wester had 17 residents who lived in three houses.

Wester belongs to the existing district Limbach. In 1987 Wester had eleven residents.
