Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: hier

Inherited from Old High German: hier

Cognate with Dutch: hier

Cognate with English: here

Cognate with Swedish: här

Cognate with Limburgish: heej

In summary

From Middle High German hier, from Old High German hier, from Proto-West Germanic *hēr. Cognate with Dutch hier, English here, Swedish här.
The predominant form in Middle High German and throughout modern dialects of High German is hie (and variants) with loss of the final -r. The form hier began to gain ground from the late 16th century (in spite of Luther’s usage), which may point to influence by cognate Middle Low German hīr, hēr (where no r-less form seems to exist; but compare modern Limburgish heej).
