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.

The Taufsteinwappen, placed in the bottom part's centre, is headed by the lettering "1080", because for that year a monastery farm of Corvey Abbey is proven for the first time in Eissen.

In the middle part are three green bows, which point to the chaplet of tilia which is found in front of Eissen's church.

To the northwest lies Peckelsheim, to the north Schweckhausen, Willegassen and Schönthal, to the east Borgentreich, to the southeast Lütgeneder, to the south Großender, to the southwest Engar and Deppenhöfen and to the west Löwen.

In the village there are some small craftmans' establishments, service companies and businesses concerning the fields of metal working, construction, wood and food.

Located at the edge of the fertile plain "Warburger Börde", in relation to other German regions, farming has a slightly major role, but concentration in this sector is also ongoing.
