[deleted] Copied from Encyclopedia Britannica (15th edition): Iserlohn, city, Nordrhein-Westfalen Land (North Rhine-Westphalia state), western West Germany, at the entrance to the hilly, wooded Sauerland region, southest of Dortmund. First mentioned in the 11th century, it was chartered in 1237 and was famous in the Middle Ages for armaments and light metalware. Although the city was burned down in 1712 and was the scene of a rebellion in 1849, the 11th-century St. Pankratius Church and the Oberste Stadtkirche (c. 1350) survive. Manufactures include machinery, chemicals and rubber, leather and metal products. Pop. (1984 est.) 91,304. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________ Xerxes J. <xerxes@hsktar.com>
