to here
An adverb that expresses movement to this place here, where the speaker is or to which the speaker is pointing. It answers the question 'Wohin?' (Where to?).
Kommst du bitte mal hierhin und hilfst mir?
Could you come over here for a moment and help me?
The adverb 'hierhin' (to here) is made up of 'hier' (here/at this place) and 'hin'. The particle 'hin' always expresses movement toward a destination and makes it clear that direction is involved.
Stell den Stuhl bitte genau hierhin.
Please put the chair exactly here.
'Hierhin' (to here) answers the question 'Wohin?' (Where to?). It describes movement toward a place, not the place itself. Do not confuse it with 'hier' (here), which answers the question 'Wo?' (Where?).
„Wohin soll ich die Bücher legen?“ – „Leg sie einfach hierhin auf den Tisch.“
'Where should I put the books?' – 'Just put them here on the table.'
Since 'hierhin' (to here) describes movement, it is typically used with verbs of movement or placement. Common examples are 'kommen' (to come), 'gehen' (to go), 'stellen' (to put/place upright), 'legen' (to lay/put), and 'setzen' (to sit down/put).
Kannst du bitte hierhin kommen? Ich brauche deine Hilfe.
Can you please come over here? I need your help.

'hier' and 'hierhin' both refer to this place, but they answer different questions. 'Hier' says where someone or something is. It answers 'Wo?' (Where?). 'Hierhin' says where someone or something is moving to, or where you should put something. It answers 'Wohin?' (Where to?). The words are easy to confuse because the place can be the same. Pay attention to the verb: with 'stehen' (to stand), 'sein' (to be), or 'warten' (to wait), 'hier' usually fits. With 'kommen' (to come), 'gehen' (to go), 'legen' (to put), or 'bringen' (to bring), 'hierhin' often fits.
In der Nachbarschaft kommen heute viele Leute hierhin, weil ein Fest stattfindet.
Many people in the neighborhood are coming here today because a festival is taking place.
Wir stehen hier am Bahnhof und warten auf den Bus.
We are standing here at the station and waiting for the bus.
