Nistermühle (Nister mil)l

Brief description

The historical Nistermühle was mentioned as early as 1234 and is located idyllically south of Hachenburg. It is especially known for the fact that Konrad Adenauer sought refuge here from the Gestapo in 1944.

Detailed description

The Nistermühle is one of the historically significant places in the region and connects nature with contemporary history. In September 1944, the Roedig family hid the later Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in the secluded mill. Under the alias "Dr. Weber," he lived there for several weeks until the Gestapo discovered the location and arrested him. Today, a memorial plaque commemorates these events, making the site a quiet memorial. The mill is beautifully situated in the Nister Valley and invites a short historical detour while hiking.
