The border between Nassau-Dillenburg and Nassau-Siegen, which had existed since 1607, was redrawn in 1816 as a result of negotiations at the Congress of Vienna (1815) in the area of the water cutting edge over the "Haincher Höhe" and the "Kalteiche". For this purpose, the boundary with boundary stones was measured and numbered for the first time in 1835 by the geometer Schüler from Straßebersbach.
With the takeover of the Duchy of Nassau HN by the Kingdom of Prussia KP on October 3, 1866, the border was now Prussian on both sides. Since 1946 this has been the state border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse.
