== Origin of the name == The river name is not related to the German word innerste meaning innermost. Innerste, in earlier times called the Inste (1805), Inderste (1567), Indistria (1313), Entrista (1065) and Indrista (1013), probably goes back to the Indo-Germanic root oid = turbulent, strong. It may be the name referred to in the name of the battlefield of ''Idistaviso'' (16 A.D.).
