Rehau is a modern industrial city located in the Bavarian Vogtland, renowned for its innovation in the field of plastics processing. Following several devastating fires in the 18th and 19th centuries, the town was rebuilt according to a grid-like plan, giving its center a distinctive Neoclassical character. Economically, the city is synonymous with REHAU AG, founded in 1948, which has grown into a global leader for polymer-based solutions in construction, automotive, and industry. Beyond its industrial prowess, Rehau features excellent recreational opportunities due to its proximity to the Fichtelgebirge mountains and the Franconian Forest. The local cultural scene is highlighted by the 'Kunsthaus Rehau' and the Icarus Park, which integrate contemporary art with technical themes. Strategically located near the A93 motorway and on the railway line to the Czech Republic, Rehau serves as a vital economic hub in the border region of Bavaria, Saxony, and Bohemia.
