SUHL

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 50 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
SUHL , a town of Germany, in the province of Prussian Saxony, picturesquely situated on the Lauter, on the southern slope of the Thuringian Forest, 61 m. N.E. of
Meiningen
  and 29 M. S.W. of
Erfurt
  by rail. Pop. (1905), 13,814. The armourers of Suhl are mentioned as early as the 9th century, but they enjoyed their highest vogue from 1550 to 1634. The knights of
south
  Germany especially prized the swords and
armour
  of this town, and many of the weapons used in campaigns against the Turks and in the Seven Years' War are said to have been manufactured at Suhl. It has suffered considerably in modern times from the competition of other towns in this industry, especially since the introduction of the breech-loading rifle. It still contains, however, large factories for firearms military and sporting, and side arms, besides ironworks,
machine
 -works, potteries and tanneries. The once considerable manufacture of fustian has declined. A brine
spring
  (Soolquelle) at the foot of the neighbouring Domberg is said to have given name to the town.
Suhl, which obtained civic rights in 1527, belonged to the principality of Henneberg, and formed
part
  of the possessions of the kingdom of Saxony assigned to
Prussia
  by the Congress of Vienna in 1815.
See Werther, Chronik der Stadt Suhl_(2 vols., Suhl, 1846-1847).
