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.

Her refers to movement toward the speaker or a reference point without specifying the destination exactly. Hierhin, on the other hand, explicitly names this place as the destination. When the direction toward the speaker is enough, her is appropriate; when the place “here” is emphasized, hierhin is appropriate.
Bring den Stuhl bitte hierhin, neben den Tisch.
Bring the chair here, please, next to the table.
Bring den Stuhl bitte her, damit ich mich setzen kann.
Bring the chair here, please, so I can sit down.
