Diessen is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Hilvarenbeek.
History
[edit | edit source]The village was first mentioned in 380 as Deusone, and relates to the Dieze River. The etymology is unclear.[3] Diessen developed in the Early Middle Ages around the Reusel stream.[4]
The St Willibrordus church, with a choir from the early-15th century, had a nave from around 1450. The tower was probably built in 1527. The church was restored between 1970 and 1973, and some of the 19th century modifications have been undone.[4]
Diessen was home to 1,003 people in 1840.[5] Diessen was a separate municipality until 1997, when it was merged with Hilvarenbeek.[6]
Diessen is hypothesized to be the birthplace Deusone of the Gallic Emperor Postumus.[7]
