History

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]
