The potential natural vegetation that would appear without human intervention is a woodruff beech forest . However, most of the area is used for arable farming. Wheat cultivation is widespread on the clay soils above shell limestone . Pasture land and deciduous forest are found on the clayey soils above the Lower Keuper. The common beech dominates in the Messbüsch, a small wood east of the village .

history

As witnesses of a prehistoric settlement of the area around Eisenach both can tumuli in Meßbüsch of the place are considered east, as well as a Viereckschanze on the late, Latènezeit is dated.

"Porcionem nostram de villa Hisnanca, Hisnanca in pago Bedinse" (Our part of the Villa Hisnanca, Hisnanca in the district of Bitburg) (Wampach I 2 No. 47). With these words Godoin and his son Helmerich donated their goods in Eisenach to the Echternach Abbey , as the oldest original document from Echternach from the year 762 attests.

In another deed of donation from 835, Eisenach is then referred to as Hissenacha .

In addition to the Echternach Abbey, the Trier cathedral chapter also owned agricultural land in the district, which was sold to France after the secularization at the beginning of the 19th century. The agricultural character of the place has been preserved to this day, the population has changed little in the past two centuries. Up until November 7, 1970, Eisenach belonged to the Trier-Saarburg district and was incorporated into the Bitburg-Prüm district that was newly formed on the same date.

Blazon : "In silver a curled red tip , inside a six-pointed golden star over a golden bar in the shield base , on the right a red hingediscfibula with a red-silver border in the form of a cube , inside a golden disc in a silver-red border, on the left a cut red one (Greek) cross . "

Justification of the coat of arms: The hinge disc brooch from the early Middle Ages was found in Eisenach and was included in the coat of arms as a symbol. A stone-carved portrait of a nun with a coat of arms on a farm gable wall, which resulted in the symbols of a star and a beam, points to the former Echternach Clarisse monastery. Until 1803 Eisenach belonged to the Trier electoral state for over five hundred years , symbolized by the red electoral cross.
