In the 13th century, the town was fortified by a stone wall.
Remains of the town wall can still be seen.

The path from the town to the peasant church and the cemetery led via the church gate, also known as the Kirchpforte, and the church steps. The "Powder Tower" stood here until 1798.

The former Burgmannshaus, which now houses the castle archives of the Protestant parishes, is one of the oldest buildings that was not destroyed by one of the many major fires.

The square is named after Fritz Kühn (1883 - 1968), an honorary citizen of Iserlohn, rector and writer on local history, who ran the "Haus der Heimat" (now the city museum) in Iserlohn from 1954 to 1968.

Today's Fritz-Kühn-Platz was extensively renovated and rebuilt from 2016 to 2018.
It is notable for its 160-metre-long watercourse, large playground and plenty of greenery.
