Everything about Ilfeld totally explained
Ilfeld is a municipality in the

Thuringia,
Germany. It is situated at the south foot of the Harz, at the entrance to the Bährethal, 8 miles north from
Nordhausen by the railway to
Wernigerode.

Ilfeld, as a town, dates from the
14th century, when it sprang up round a Benedictine monastery. Founded about
1190 this latter was reformed in
1545, and a year later converted into the school mentioned above, which under the rectorship of
Michael Neander enjoyed a reputation for scholarship which it has maintained until to-day.
