history
Between 1001 and 1010 AD, the name Aieshusun was first mentioned in the donation register of the Free Imperial Abbey of Corvey . Around 1080 a cloister courtyard in Eissen was performed in a lifting role from the Corvey monastery . Between 1000 and 1100, the Holy. Was Liborius sacred stone church built. This went back to an initiative of the Diocese of Paderborn , to which this was also subordinate. The church became a parish church and Eissen a parish .
In 1447, on their retreat from the siege of Soest, Bohemian mercenaries destroyed the village of Sunrike (desert), east of Eissen and Borgentreich .
Hesse-Kassel troops looted all places in the Borgentreich area in 1632 , including Eissen.
In 1640 the main imperial armed forces as well as Archduke Leopold Wilhelm and Prince Octavio Piccolomini moved into winter quarters in the Princes' Diocese of Paderborn , which resulted in famine, disease, epidemics and death in the whole area. From 1641 to 1647 the Warburger Land was continuously occupied by plundering Hesse-Kassel troops.
From 1756 fighting took place in the Warburg area again and again during the Seven Years' War . From December 1, 1758 to Easter 1759, dragoons were housed in Eissen and the neighboring towns as part of this war . From autumn 1760 to early summer 1761, 42 people (12% of the population) died in Eissen as a result of the war.
Four residents of Eissen, who were forcibly recruited, perished during the Russian campaign of 1812 with Napoleon's “ great army ” in Russia.
In 1871 a man from Eissen did not return from the Franco-Prussian War , three more died later, probably from their injuries.
Since October 1, 1876, Eissen was connected to the railway network via the Holzminden-Scherfede line and received its own station, which was completed in 1875.
On May 6, 1879, 47 houses fell victim to a major fire within 20 minutes. The fire was started by the carelessness of a twelve-year-old schoolboy who had secretly tried a found cigar butt in a goat shed.
On December 18, 1898, 41 citizens founded the Eissener Spar- und Kreditskassenverein eGmbH , which merged in 1962 with the savings and loan association Peckelsheim and in 1973 was taken over by Volksbank Paderborn, which closed the branch in 2001.
In 1898, at the instigation of a Prussian law, a granary was built at the train station .
The Eissen volunteer fire brigade was founded on April 12, 1911 by 32 people.
In the period from 1912 to 1914 the church was rebuilt and enlarged.
Between 1914 and 1918, 30 people from Eissen were killed in the First World War . A total of 71 people from Eissen were killed in World War II .
On April 1, 1945, an infantry company of the Wehrmacht holed up on the southern edge of the village, whereupon American units advancing from Hohenwepel shot the village ready for storm. The church and granary were badly damaged and 47 properties were completely destroyed. The whole of Eissen was also badly damaged, but only two residents were injured. No civilian was killed. In the end, 14 German and 3 American soldiers were killed, 65 Wehrmacht soldiers were taken prisoner, the rest left along the railway line in the direction of Borgholz .
On January 1, 1975, Eissen was incorporated into Willebadessen as part of the regional reform and thus lost its independence.
On June 2, 1984 the passenger train service in Eissen was stopped.
Surname
Like almost all place and country names, the name von Eissen also went through a long development. Beginning in the early Middle Ages with Aieshusun (the ending -husun indicates Saxon times), through the high medieval name Heisten , to the form Eissen, which is still valid today.
- Aieshusun
- (Villa) Aeissun, Agissun, Agissen
- Heisten
- Eysne, Eyessen, Eisne, Eisenen, Eyhsen, Eihsen, Eißen
- Eissen
The many different designations / spellings simply result from the previously non-existent standardized language. Everyone wrote as they saw fit and as they heard it. There are various theories about the meaning of the name, none of which have been scientifically proven:
- Aeissun is said to have descended from Asigsheim. Asig is a reference to the Germanic gods of the Aesir , so Eissen was a place where a sanctuary is said to have existed. This is supported by the fact that the field name Hibbeke should come from Hillige-Bicke . However, the name Asigsheim / Eissen does not appear in a single document, the ending -heim comes from Franconian times, and no archaeological evidence in this direction has yet been found.
- Ey (egg) in Old Saxon refers to a terrain that is located in a moist, water-rich area or protrudes from such a dry land mass. Eissen was created north of a wetland at the source pond / Hibbeketeich and Siek, west of the Eggel lowlands and south of the watercourses of the Mühlgraben. Thus, the name would mean that Eissen stands out from a wetland. However, this variant is also of a purely theoretical nature and not scientifically substantiated.
Population development
With 718 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2007), Eissen is the third largest town in the city of Willebadessen. In 1760 the population was about 360. Between 1818 and 1890 about 110 people left their homes and emigrated, most of them to the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland , but also to Sweden and the West Indies .
Religions
The strongest religious group is the Catholic St. Liborius parish , which has 649 members and belongs to the Willebadessen-Peckelsheim pastoral network. It is part of the Höxter deanery in the Archdiocese of Paderborn . Until the beginning of 2009, a mass in the Tridentine rite was held in the Liborius Church on the first Wednesday evening of the month - the only Latin mass in the Höxter and Altkreis Warburg districts and (besides the mass in Paderborn) one of two Tridentine masses in the former Hochstift Paderborn .
Protestant Christians are organized in the Protestant parish of Peckelsheim.
politics
City Council members

The mayor is Petra Engemann-Ludwig.
coat of arms
The coat of arms was redesigned and introduced in 1996. The suggestion for this came from the St. Liborius Schützenverein. In the coat of arms itself, the so-called baptismal coat of arms and symbols that emphasize the Eissen patron St. Liborius should be present.
The baptismal coat of arms is the focal point in the lower part, above you can find the inscription "1080", as this year, for the first time, a cloister courtyard of the Corvey monastery in Eissen has been recorded. The Latin words "Villa Aeissun" in the lower margin refer to the document written in the Helmarshausen monastery in which Eissen is named. In the middle there are three green arches, these indicate the wreath of linden trees that surrounds the Eissen church. Today you can find the coat of arms almost exclusively on the village flag in the green and white background.
