Properties:
When the town was granted its charter in the 13th century, the minting of its own coins and the production of wire and chain mail began.
The wire, needle and brass industry that developed from this shaped Iserlohn and the lives of its inhabitants - both in the factory and at home.
Socializing was not neglected in the up-and-coming town: in the 19th century, numerous clubs were founded in the town and new political ideas were discussed in the pubs. In 1849, Prussian troops put down an uprising by the citizens of Iserlohn, which had begun with the storming of the arsenal - today's town museum.
The National Socialist terror and the Second World War also left their mark on the town.
The nearby Altstadt air raid shelter, which was built in 1943, is managed by the museum and can be visited as part of a guided tour.
The basement is not accessible until further notice due to extensive renovation work.
