    Tips

    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.

      It's unbelievable what the border closure has destroyed in village life.
