Ilm-Kreis
Ilm-Kreis is a district in Thuringia, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the city of Erfurt, the districts of Weimarer Land, Saalfeld-Rudolstadt and Hildburghausen, the city of Suhl, and the districts of Schmalkalden-Meiningen and Gotha. It is named after the river Ilm, flowing through the district. History In medieval times the territory was ruled by the counts of Henneberg and the princes of Schwarzburg, two local dynasties.

This mini state existed until 1920, when the state of Thuringia was founded. The district was founded in 1920 (under t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
