Limbach was a district of Steinheid until it was incorporated into Neuhaus am Rennweg. The richness of wood in this region once attracted the two glass masters Hans Greiner and Christoph Müller, who built a glassworks in Limbach in 1731. Gotthelf Greiner dedicated himself to the production of porcelain and in 1772, when his porcelain factory in Limbach went into operation, brought many people in wages and bread. Today, only the former manor house, the former carpenter's shop of Gotthelf Greiner and the Greiner crypt on the slope of the Petersberg mountain remind us of this time of white gold.

Hiking

If you are looking for a good starting point for hikes in the Neuhaus am Rennweg area, then this is the place for you. Limbach is a place of comb layers in the Thuringian Slate Mountains and is located on the Rennsteig. The place is located between Steinheid and Siegmundsburg. It goes up, for example to Friedrichshöhe, a picturesque village in which only one street leads, and ends there. There is an inn waiting for a hearty stop.
