Eissen is a Westphalian village with 718 inhabitants in North Rhine-Westphalia and part of the town of Willebadessen, district Höxter in the administrative region of Detmold. ==Name== Eissen has passed through a long evolution. Starting in the early Middle Ages with ''Aieshusun'' (the ending -husun points to Saxon time) during the High Middle Ages' name ''Heisten'' to today 's form Eissen. * Aieshusun * (Villa) Aeissun, Agissun, Agissen * Heisten * Eysne, Eyessen, Eisne, Eisenen, Eyhsen, Eihsen, Eißen * Eissen Concerning the meaning of each name there are different theories, but none of them is proven: * ''Aeissun'' should descend to ''Asigsheim''. Asig should be thereby a dependence to the Germanic gods family of the Æsir, wherefore Eissen should be named as a holy place. Following this theory, the meadow name ''Hibbeke'' means ''Hillige-Bicke'' (holy bicke). Indeed, the denotation Asigsheim/Eissen was not found in any deed, although the ending -heim points to Frankish time, furthermore no archaeological evidence was found. * In the old Saxon language Ey (Ei) denotes a place which is located in a damp and watery terrain, or rather sticks out of such a terrain as a dry landmass. Eissen is surrounded in the north by a watery terrain at the source pond / Hibbeke pond and the Siek creek, in the west by the Eggel river and in the south by the millstream. Consequently, the name could mean that Eissen sticks out of a damp and watery terrain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eissen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
