Until after the war, basalt was still being quarried in Willmenrod and broken up into chips and crushed stone in the community.

Willmenrod borders in the north on Sainscheid and Westerburg, in the east on Wengenroth and Berzhahn, in the south on Girkenroth and Dorndorf and in the west on Weltersburg and Guckheim.

Despite the claim to the contrary in the folksong Oh du schöner Westerwald, the wind does not whistle quite so cold.

In winter, the snow is limited, in summer, it is only seldom unbearably hot and when there is stormy weather, the two mountain ridges keep the wind off the community's location.

Owing to the community's location on the Elbbach, which afforded a great deal of waterpower, it was possible to run five mills here.
