Ilsenburg: Guide
Ilsenburg, a town in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, romantically situated under the north foot of the Harz Mountains, at the entrance to the Ilsethal, 6 miles NW. from Wernigerode by the railway (Deutsche Bundesbahn InterRegio route) to Goslar.
Owing to its charming surroundings and its position on the edge of the Harz National Park, Ilsenburg is a popular tourist resort. The old castle, Schloss Ilsenburg, lying on a high crag above the town, was originally an imperial stronghold and was probably built by the German king Henry I, Duke of Bavaria|Henry I. The emperor Otto III resided here in 995, Henry II, Duke of Bavaria|Henry II bestowed it in 1003 upon the bishop of Halberstadt, who converted it into a Benedictine monastery, and the school attached to it enjoyed a great reputation towards the end of the 11th century. After the Reformation the castle passed to the counts of Wernigerode, who restored it and made it their residence until 1710. Higher still, on the edge of the plateau rises the Ilsenstein, a granite peak standing about 500 ft. above the valley, crowned by an iron cross erected by Count Anton von Stolberg-Wernigerode in memory of his friends who fell in the wars of 1813-1815. Around this rock cluster numerous legends.
Ilsenburg is the seat of the Verwaltungsgemeinschaft ("collective municipality") Ilsenburg, which consists of the following municipalities (population in 2005 between brackets):
