Rauenstein is a village in the southern Thuringian district of Sonneberg. It is part of the municipality Frankenblick.

Rauenstein is located in the valley of the Grümpen on the southern edge of the Thuringian Slate Mountains about 2 km west of Effelder.

The place at the same name and older castle Rauenstein was first mentioned in 1445. Historically, the castle, owned by the noble family von Schaumberg for centuries, was the determining factor of the place. Duke Georg I of Saxony-Meiningen licensed the Rauenstein porcelain factory founded by Johann Friedrich Greiner right next to the castle in 1783, which became the most important source of income for the town and in 1851 already had 180 employees. In 1910 the town was opened up by the Eisfeld – Sonneberg railway.

During the Second World War, 170 women and men from France, Ukraine and Russia had to do forced labor in the Richard Schneider von Rauenstein company and in agriculture. [1]
