    The settlement of Rappauf once housed a glassworks, first documented in 1718. This workshop was called the Plesser Hütte (Plesser Glassworks), and it produced mirror and window glass, beads, and buttons. The glassworks was abandoned in 1747.
    Before World War II, Rappauf had 16 houses. After the war, the village, which was now located within the military exclusion zone, was destroyed. A few remnants of the walls can still be seen.

    A glassworks was built here in 1718. It became sheet glass, window lenses. Rosary beads and buttons are produced.
    Until 1945 there were 16 houses in the hamlet of Rappauf. It was a district of the nearby Wenceslas village. After 1945 the place was razed to the ground. A few foundations of buildings can still be seen.
