history
The archaeological site located near the place "Hok" - a grave mound from the Hallstatt period - has an early settlement of the area around Issersheilingen. The barrow was already explored in the 19th century by the village pastor. From the grave site you have a clear view to the west, south and south-east. In the burial mound, rich finds from the Hallstatt period, including pieces of helical ring and ten stirrup arm rings, were recovered.
The place name Issersheilingen was first recorded in writing in 1279. Until 1555 there was a wood mill in a field near the road to Körner. The Waidmühlstein was considered valuable and was later placed in front of his house by Marcus Daniel Minor , the remains of the wall were still used as building material to repair the church. Issersheilingen belonged to the Electoral Saxon Office of Langensalza until 1815 and, after its cession to Prussia, from 1816 to 1944 to the district of Langensalza in the province of Saxony .

Culture and sights
- The Hök soil monument is an ensemble of prehistoric barrows to the east of the village, which show themselves as soil structures overgrown with lawns and sometimes trees and which are even included in the local coat of arms in symbolic form. Their maximum size is 26 meters in diameter, the hills protrude two to three meters above the ground level. At least 15 graves have already been leveled by the plow in the area. In the region there are still around 50 tombs from the Neolithic , Bronze Age and Thuringian culture of the Old Iron Age . Legends of a great battle that took place here over a thousand years ago attracted treasure graves centuries ago. The mounds, however, contain the remains of former tribal princes and subsequent burials. The Thuringian State Office for Archaeological Monument Preservation has put up a notice board at the Hök soil monument.
- Evangelical Church of St. John the Baptist : on the basis of previous buildings, the church tower was built in 1577 and the nave (hall church) in its current form in 1856. During the GDR era, the church's decline was so advanced that the parish council decided to give up the church - also because of the lack of building materials. Altar, stalls and organ were given to other Thuringian churches. The damage at the time of the "turning point" in 1990 was devastating. Nevertheless - with the active participation of committed citizens - a general renovation of the church was tackled. Today (2011) the outside of the church is again a piece of jewelery, inside it is still very simple and imperfect. Instructive information boards inside the church provide information about the history of the construction and reconstruction of the church.
- Next to the church, the overgrown war memorial for the First World War was made visible again, restored and the names of those who died in the Second World War were added
