ISAR (identical with Isere, in Celtic " the rapid ")

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 865 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
ISAR (identical with Isere, in Celtic " the rapid ") , a river of Bavaria. It rises in the Tirolese Alps N.E. from
Innsbruck
 , at an altitude of 5840 ft. It first winds in deep, narrow glens and gorges through the Alps, and at Tolz (2100ft.), due north from its source, enters the Bavarian plain, which it traverses in a generally north and north-
east
  direction, and pours its waters into the
Danube
  immediately below Deggendorf after a course of 219 M. The area of its drainage basin is 38,200 sq. m. Below
Munich
  the stream is 14o to 350 yards wide, and is studded with islands. It is not navigable, except for rafts. The
total
  fall of the river is 4816 ft. The Isar is essentially the national stream of the Bavarians. It has belonged from the earliest times to the Bavarian
people
  and traverses the finest corn
land
  in the kingdom. On its banks lie the cities of
Munich
  and Landshut, and the venerable episcopal see of Freising, and the inhabitants of the
district
  it waters are reckoned the core of the Bavarian race.
See C.
Gruber
 , Die Isar nach ihrer Entwickelung and ihren hydrologischen Verhdltnissen (Munich, 1889); and Die Bedeutung der Isar als Verkehrsstrasse (Munich, 1890).
