A little bit of the history of Rittersgrün...
The first mention of the village supposedly comes from the 13th century. However, the foundation of the village dates back to the 15th century. In the 16th century a smelter was built to process iron ore extracted in the area. Industrial plants, however, were going bankrupt in the 19th century. For further development of Rittersgrün, especially in the area of tourism, the railway was very important at the end of the 19th century. A local museum is dedicated to the railway.
