Population centres
The town of Eibergen
The town of Eibergen has a population of approximately 12,000 people. Its East boundary is the Dutch-German border and Eibergen used to count two official border crossing points on main roads and a small number of border crossing points for limited use on secondary roads. Since border crossing traffic became free and checks are only made inward at a certain distance from the actual border, the border has been 'perforated' by numerous (mostly bicycle) roads.
Because of this border past, a local annual indoor soccer tournament of Eibergen's police has grown to the world's largest sports event of its kind: the World Police Indoor Soccer Tournament. Held in October every year: more than 3,000 police officers from over 54 countries participate.
Government
It houses an interception station of the Nationale SIGINT Organisatie.[1]

The Mallumsche Molen is an old water mill, built in 1753. It lies on the Mallumsche Molenweg, together with the Muldershuis and opens every Saturday to show how flour can be ground by the water mill.
