Eibergen has 39 places, of which 29 give opening hours, 74 per cent. Of those, 69 per cent open on a Sunday and 31 per cent work past eleven. A website of their own is held by 82 per cent, and 18 per cent have no online presence.
The by-law draws no distinction by day here: closing at two, alike on all seven days. The terrace does differ: it shuts at midnight, and only on Friday and Saturday nights may it run until one. The shops may open on a Sunday from eight until seven, and that holds for the whole municipality without distinction between its cores.
Eibergen is first named in 1188, as a parish of its own within the lordship of Borculo. Town rights it never received: in the fifteenth century it is indeed called a town, but jurisdiction stayed with the lord, and of a charter there is no question. The fortification consisted of a hedge.
The Berkel runs past the village, which lies on the high south bank; there was a harbour on it, and later came textiles. Outside the built-up area stands a watermill of the middle of the eighteenth century.
The Achterhoek holds no European protected name. The midwinter horn is blown here, listed in the Dutch heritage inventory since 2013. The place counts 11,148 residents, of whom 27 per cent are over sixty-five.
