Geography Reitzenhain is located on the crest of the Ore Mountains, next to the border between Germany and the Czech Republic at an altitude of ca. 778 m (station building) on the stream Schwarze Pockau. The abandoned village Pohraniční (Böhmisch Reizenhain) is situated to its south-east, on the Czech side of the border and on the right bank of the stream. Etymology The name of the village is supposedly derived from a wayside inn (locally called a ''Han'') on the nearby mountain pass, which happened to be the thirteenth inn ('Dreizehnter Han') on the road from Leipzig to Prague, counted from either end.

History Reitzenhain was first mentioned in a document of 1401 as ''Reiczenstein'', being a village on the border to Bohemia. In 1551 it belonged to Gro ...

Minerals such as augite, magnetite, nepheline, olivine and perovskite have been identified in samples from the basaltic fan of Hirtstein.
