While Ilmenau was ruled by Henneberg, Arnstadt belonged to Schwarzburg. Ilmenau is a town located in the district of Ilm-Kreis, Thuringia, Germany. When the Henneberg family became extinct in 1583, Ilmenau was acquired by Saxony. The Free State of Saxony (Freistaat Sachsen ˈzaksən Swobodny Stat Sakska is the easternmost federal state of Germany. In the meantime the principality of Schwarzburg began to disintegrate and was split up in several tiny states. One of those states (Schwarzburg-Arnstadt) was based in Arnstadt; it was founded in 1574 and existed until 1716, when it fell to Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. This mini state existed until 1920, when the state of Thuringia was founded.
The district was founded in 1920 (under the name Arnstadt); it was divided in 1952 into the districts of Arnstadt and Ilmenau, but reunited in 1994.
Geography
In its southern portions the district includes parts of the southeastern Thuringian Forest, among them the highest elevation of that mountain chain, including the Großer Beerberg (982 m). The Thuringian Forest ( Thüringer Wald in German) running northwest to southeast forms a continuous stretch of ancient rounded mountains posing ample difficulties To the north the country is sloping away and becomes rather plain, mainly agricultural area.
