history
On July 17, 1344, Wiederstein was first mentioned. Already on August 15, 1326 goods were mentioned in "Mischebach", a farm in the Mischebachtal southwest of Wiederstein.
On October 9, 1748, six houses, seven barns and two bakeries burned down after the fire broke out in one of the bakeries. Only after their second petition did the residents of Wiederstein receive their lumber debts waived by the sovereign, the Nassau-Orange Princess Anne, in 1752.
A chapel school was built in 1759 and is still standing today. The Wiederstein cemeteries were laid out in 1785, 1818 and 1887, the last with a chapel. In 1953 a new school was built, but it was only in use until 1969.
The "Gesangverein Harmonie Wiederstein" was founded in 1884 and has had a mixed choir for 25 years.
Heinrich Diehl was the mayor from 1894 to 1913 and Richard Gräf from 1913 to 1919. In 1913, water pipes were laid in Wiederstein and Zeppenfeld and the power grid was built. Electricity came from the Petri sawmill and one light bulb was installed per house. From 1923 the EWS supplied the electricity.
In 1925 the community of Wiederstein existed as a workers' community and health resort. Community leader was Grisse. Of the 399 inhabitants, 391 were Protestant, one Catholic and seven of other denominations. There was an elementary school , the Wiederstein volunteer fire brigade and a sports field. The community council consisted of seven seats, two of which belonged to the SPD, two from the DNV and two from the DV, as well as a community leader.
Until the municipal reorganization on January 1, 1969, the place belonged to the office of Burbach .
Pits
Mining played less of a role in Wiederstein than in the neighboring communities of Altenseelbach or Salchendorf . There were three larger pits in the local area of Wiederstein:
- The Star of Hope was partly in the Zeppenfeld area and was in operation from 1863 to 1885. It was the largest mine and had a deep tunnel with a length of 242 m and an upper tunnel in the Volkersbachtal , which, however, broke early. Two dies with a depth of 10 m completed the whole thing. Since 1865, 301.5 tons of lead ore have been mined.
- Rainbow was in the Mischebach valley, was in operation from 1841 to 1887 and had several tunnels. 27 tons of lead ore, 16 tons of zinc ore and 1.6 tons of copper ore were extracted.
- The bone of contention lay below the Leyenkopf partly in the Zeppenfeld area and was in operation from 1863. There was a 300 m long tunnel and a small shaft that was filled in 1995.
In addition to the smaller pits, the 720 m deep Lorenzschacht of the Wildener Grube Bautenberg was on the edge of the local area of Wiederstein.

Infrastructure and transport links
At the southern end of the village there is a small industrial area with a few companies. It is separated from the larger part belonging to Wahlbach by a small forest area.
The Betzdorf – Haiger railway runs through the place where Wiederstein used to have a stop. Since this is closed, the next stations are Neunkirchen and Wahlbach. VWS takes over the bus transport . There is also a citizen bus running within Neunkirchen.
The federal motorway 45 can be reached via Zeppenfeld, Neunkirchen, Salchendorf and Wilden .

Attractions
Chapel school
The chapel school was built in 1759 and is one of the oldest still existing schools in the area. An inscription above the front door indicates the year of construction: “Well, those who live in the house will always praise you. Seela. Psalm 84. Anno 1759 the quotes May “ . Initially, the village shepherd from Wiederstein lived in the building. A community bull was housed in the cellar. Around 1800 the cellar was also used by the teacher who lived on the first floor. Until 1854 the classroom on the second floor was also used as a prayer room.
In 1880 the bell tower was moved to the north side of the house, as the roof sloped in the middle. The tower and bell were too heavy and crushed the roof. The first bell was rung in 1768. It was not changed until 1908. The second bell, cast in Herborn, was melted down during the war in 1917. The third bell was hung in 1919 and replaced by the fourth in 1922, which was melted down during World War II. The current bell was hung on October 30, 1949.
Teaching was still carried out in the building until 1953. After moving to a new school, the building was used as living space, including for asylum seekers. In 1999 the last residents moved out and the chapel school was expanded and refurbished from 2000 by the “Heimat- und Verschönerungsverein Wiederstein eV” with the help of the owner of the school, the community of Neunkirchen.
Today the chapel school shows an extensive exhibition on local history, Haubergs - and agriculture , school or storage, as well as a chronicle of the First World War from 1914.
Sports
The local sports club "SuS Wiederstein" was founded by eight members on June 16, 1960, after several years of playing football and the idea of a club arose. The first games took place in the neighboring town of Zeppenfeld. Training was carried out in the school yard and on the sports field on the Rothenbach southwest of the village. After the SuS had lost for a long time, the team won against TuS Lippe for the first time on March 24, 1963. This was followed by further victories and promotion to the 2nd district class in 1972 and winning the municipal championships in 1977 and 1982. In the 1978/79 season, the promotion to the A district league was successful. The descent followed in 1981, but in 1989 a new rise was achieved. However, this did not last long.
The integration of foreign citizens has been very important to the association for decades. In 1978 the first foreign players joined, the second team consisted almost entirely of Italians. The Turkish Anadolu Neunkirchen team has been training at the Wiederstein sports field to this day. This square, located on the border with Wahlbach, south of Wiederstein, was inaugurated at Whitsun 1969 after campaigning for it since 1966. In the summer of 1995 it was equipped with a floodlight system, and the sports home was built between 1996 and 1998. Today the sports field is in poor condition and needs to be renovated. The club currently has a stable senior team in the district league C. For the 50th anniversary, the club organized a festival weekend from August 27th to 29th, 2010.
