Ilm-Kreis, Rural district in Thuringia, Germany
The Ilm district spans over 805 square kilometers of territory, encompassing the southeastern Thuringian Forest and agricultural lands in the northern section.
The district emerged from territories previously governed by the counts of Henneberg and princes of Schwarzburg until the formation of Thuringia state in 1920.
The district preserves traditional German craftsmanship through its local workshops, maintaining centuries-old techniques in woodworking, metalwork, and textile production.
The district capital Arnstadt connects to major transportation routes, providing direct access to regional centers and the state capital Erfurt.
The Ilm River shapes the district's landscape, flowing through multiple municipalities and contributing to the region's agricultural development.
