Amt Westhofen, Administrative district in Iserlohn District, Germany.
Amt Westhofen was a historical administrative district in the Iserlohn region. It grouped together seven rural municipalities spread across hilly terrain.
The district was created in 1843 as part of administrative reforms in Prussian Westphalia. After multiple boundary changes, it was dissolved in 1975.
The district's coat of arms displayed a yellow background with a red and white striped bar, crowned by a black eagle with red beak and talons.
This former administrative region now exists only in historical records and archives. Visitors can explore the area today by visiting the individual municipalities that once composed the district.
In 1929, the district was transferred from Kreis Horde to Kreis Iserlohn, reflecting the region's shifting administrative structure. This shift shows how territorial boundaries in Westphalia were reorganized during that period.
